Super Cool one owner custom built, (2000) brick home ideally located on Forest Ave.-- a bucolic tree-lined, cobblestone street in E. Wilmette. One block from Lake Michigan. HUGE 80 x 190 lot. Designed by Douglass + Brock Architects who designed the Master Plan for Conway Farms in Lake Forest, and Ballroom Re-design of Michigan Shores Club---this home is a treat! This Red Brick Contemporary Georgian facade opens to a SPACIOUS, traditional, symmetrical interior with HUGE windows and transoms, exceptional quality, incredible mill-work, soaring 17 ft ceilings and sweeping open circular floor plan and simultaneously distinct spaces. Fabulous flexible floor plan with the elusive first floor primary bedroom and adjoining large library suite that allows for 3180 sq feet of one-level living. (including generous 2 car heated attached garage.) Dueling open staircases at each end of the home lead to the second floor complete with 3 additional private bedrooms ALL en-suite and storage galore! Glimpses of the Lake from the Primary BR, Library, Living Room and upstairs hallway. The light in this home is incredible! Entertaining is effortless. Symmetry is prominent from the gracious Living Room with FP and high ceilings on one side of the home to the generous dining/gathering room in the center and sunny Family Room on the south end- also with FP and High Ceilings. The "cherry on the top" to the first floor layout is the fabulous large three season porch with gorgeous bluestone floor overlooking another bluestone patio and soothing sounds of the heated koi pond with fountain. The kitchen--always the hub of the home--highlights an island, peninsula and open breakfast room. Also featuring a butlers pantry, wet-bar, beverage fridge and planning desk--the kitchen was designed to accommodate cooks and cook supervisors. Adding to the great entertaining space is a big, beautiful, private brick walled bluestone patio for lounging, dining and grilling, (includes outdoor gas connection). It is rare to have a generous two car heated attached garage with room for storage and an enclosed walk-out entrance to the basement storage. Mud room and first floor sun-lit big laundry room also opens to the private side yard patio.The 2300 sq ft deep basement offers 2 big finished rec rooms and a huge undeveloped storage room with walkout to garage. The possibilities are endless. (Bedroom(s), Bath, workout?) and still unlimited storage! Big Corner lot so the house gets outstanding light. Thoughtful, mature landscaping and private spaces too. Uniquely suited to Age-in-Place and/or Raise a Family. Plan on being the "host-house" for Wilmette's Third of July and all Beach Related Events! Truly a great home!
