About this home

Picture-perfect in the heart of Wilmette! Welcome to 716 20th Street, a gracious center-entry home built in 2001 that offers the best of both worlds: the character and scale of a traditional home with the openness and amenities of newer construction. The welcoming foyer sets the tone for the beautifully proportioned rooms throughout. The elegant living room features gleaming hardwood floors, crown molding, a gas fireplace and handsome mantel, while the separate dining room is filled with natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows found throughout the home. Both rooms connect to the kitchen and family room through two thoughtfully designed butler's pantries, creating wonderful storage, serving space and an easy, circular flow that is ideal for entertaining. The expansive kitchen is truly the heart of the home, with custom cabinetry, high-end appliances, a generous island and peninsula seating at the breakfast bar. Open to the family room, it provides plenty of room to gather, relax and connect. A second gas fireplace adds warmth, while large sliding doors open to the back patio and garden. Natural light pours into the space, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout the day. The spacious, organized mudroom offers another convenient entrance to the yard, along with an attached garage. Upstairs, a gracious staircase leads to an impressive primary suite with a walk-in closet and beautifully renovated luxury bath featuring a double vanity, separate shower and bidet. Three additional generously sized bedrooms each offer walk-in closets, while two more full baths, a laundry room and spacious landing complete the second floor. The finished lower level provides excellent flexible space, including a recreation room, full bath and fifth bedroom, perfect for guests, an office, exercise room or play space. A substantial unfinished area offers abundant storage. A wonderful combination of classic elegance, thoughtful updates and modern functionality, all in an unbeatable Wilmette location. Walk to schools, downtown Wilmette, the train and everything this charming community has to offer.
