Home Details for 815 Lake Avenue

Absolutely magnificent EAST WILMETTE showstopper COMING SOON! This stunner was fully renovated and expanded in 2007 restoring its original beauty and charm while providing all of today's must-haves and over-the-top comforts. With four full floors of living, six bedrooms above grade, six full baths & 2 half baths, a hidden 3rd floor playroom and complete theater room with seats from Radio City Music Hall, this home truly has it all. You will fall in love with the spacious feel and easy flow of the main floor with so many windows and abundant natural light - an entertainer's dream. The expansive front porch welcomes you in and provides perfect outdoor entertainment space. Upon entering the foyer with newer finished hardwood floors, stunning millwork and absolutely gorgeous newel post - you are struck by the detail and character of this special home. A gracious front living room with wood-burning fireplace, built-ins and gorgeous windows and French doors overlooking the front porch and yard provides welcoming and cozy living and entertaining space. Flowing into the private dining room with show-stopping antique chandelier and window pane wainscoting, you will love meals here! Fabulous chef's kitchen with huge island, top of the line appliances, dual dishwashers, butler's pantry, workspace, custom cabinetry and storage galore with the show stopping breakfast room with floor to ceiling windows and French doors opening to the back porch. Off the kitchen is the amazing family room with coffered ceiling, window pane wainscoting, and phenomenal floor to ceiling custom bookshelves - such thoughtful detailing throughout! Great mudroom with built-ins is perfect for organization. The second floor includes tall ceilings, a beautiful landing, the dreamy primary suite featuring a gas fireplace, TWO ensuite bathrooms & TWO closets, three additional secondary bedrooms with two full bathrooms (one en-suite), and a large & charming laundry room. The third floor offers two additional bedrooms, another full bath and a HIDDEN PLAY ROOM - great for anything from toys, crafts or teen hangouts. You will LOVE the fully finished basement with awesome rec room with wet bar, private office with gas fireplace, full theater room with chairs from Radio City Music Hall, exercise room with mirror and barre, full bath for washing pets or sandy feet, another half bath for guests and great storage. So much newer in this home and the improvements are truly over-the-top and too numerous to mention (newer windows, newer cedar shake roof, newer plumbing, newer electrical, in-ground sprinkler system, speaker system, blown in insulation, newer copper water service & more!). The exterior is just as fabulous sitting on an oversized 67x213 lot with fully fenced-in backyard and gorgeous landscaping, plenty of green space and fantastic pergola area for entertaining. A HUGE BONUS is the opportunity for a garage coach house as the gas & electrical lines have already been run - great potential for extra usable space. Parking is ample - 2 spots in the garage and another 3+ on the apron. Of course, the location can't be beat - just a few short blocks to Gillson Beach and Park, and an easy walk to Central Elementary School, downtown Wilmette and Metra train. Such an exceptional home and property! Contact Megan for more details. Pictures & floorplans will be taken February 25. Showings to start in early March. Truly such a special home!
