Description

Enjoy coming home to picture-perfect timeless elegance in this stunning center-entry colonial in highly sought after Kenilworth Gardens location! Situated on a beautiful oversized lot (50x177) along one of the most desired streets in Wilmette, this 4 bedroom, 2.1 bath classic red brick colonial breathtakingly blends traditional charm with modern luxuries and well-thought out functionality to promote idyllic suburban living in a location that can't be beat! Through the architecturally exquisite front entrance, you're greeted by the warm and inviting sun-filled first floor featuring tall ceilings and beautiful hardwood floors throughout its ideal layout. The large living room offers a bright and beautiful space for casual everyday living or formal occasions with the gorgeous fireplace and beautiful mantel. Across the way you'll find the well-sized dining room with charming wainscoting ideally located with access to the eat-in kitchen, which was renovated in 2019. Adjacent to this bright and updated heart of the home is the cozy family room with built-in shelving and expansive views of the backyard, offering the potential to further expand the kitchen or open the space up. Retreat to the second floor where you'll find the luxurious primary suite with dual closets and renovated spa-like bath featuring radiant heat floors, soaking tub, and a separate shower. There are 3 additional bedrooms, each generously-sized with plenty of closet space and a shared hall bath. The walk-up attic presents endless opportunities for future expansion or as abundant storage space. The lower level has been thoughtfully finished to be integrated as everyday living space with a large rec room with wine fridge, dedicated play space, recently updated and well-sized laundry room, and large storage / walk-in pantry (which provides a perfectly placed "Costco-room"), the functionality of this home is top-tier. The extra deep lot with south-facing and fully-fenced backyard makes for phenomenal outdoor living. From entertaining on the large deck, swinging on the play set, soccer in the yard, or chalk on the hardscape, there's room for it all at 2145 Chestnut, while being within walking distance to school, parks, and train. Enjoy suburban bliss from this spectacular home in unbeatable location!
