About this home
Exceptional in both scale and setting, this impeccably maintained four-level residence offers over 5,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living on a deep 50x177 lot in one of Wilmette's most desirable walk-to-everything locations. Just moments from the Metra, downtown Wilmette, and top-rated schools, this home delivers the rare combination of space, function, and everyday convenience that today's buyers are seeking. 1916 Washington lives effortlessly across four finished levels, offering five bedrooms, a spacious third-floor loft, and six full bathrooms. Designed to balance refined entertaining with comfortable daily living, the home features a highly functional layout complemented by timeless finishes and quality craftsmanship throughout. A welcoming covered front porch introduces a gracious foyer, where hardwood floors extend seamlessly across the entire main level. A formal living room also ideal as a private office, sits adjacent to a well-proportioned dining room, creating a classic and elegant flow. The heart of the home unfolds in the open kitchen and family room, where a large center island, generous breakfast area, walk-in pantry, and butler's pantry connect seamlessly to a warm, inviting family room anchored by a wood-burning fireplace. A rear deck extends the living space outdoors, while a well-designed mudroom with built-in storage adds everyday functionality. The second level is anchored by a stunning primary suite spanning the full width of the home, complete with a luxurious bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, separate shower, and an oversized walk-in closet. A standout feature is the private 28-foot balcony, an uncommon and truly special outdoor retreat. Three additional bedrooms, each with walk-in closets, are complemented by two full baths and a conveniently located laundry room. Hardwood floors continue throughout, and abundant natural light enhances the warmth of the space. The third floor offers exceptional flexibility, featuring a fifth bedroom, full bath, and an expansive loft-ideal for a playroom, media room, home office, or private guest suite. The finished walkout lower level adds significant living space, with a large recreation room, wet bar, full bath, walk-in closet, and direct access to the backyard, perfect for entertaining, extended living, or an au pair arrangement. Additional highlights include a professionally landscaped and fenced yard, rear deck, two-car detached garage, and zoned HVAC for optimal comfort. Located within the highly regarded New Trier Township High School district and within walking distance to McKenzie Elementary, Highcrest Middle School, the Metra, and downtown Wilmette, this is a compelling opportunity to own a home that delivers on every level-design, functionality, and location....
