216 4th St, Wilmette, IL 60091

Rare opportunity in East Wilmette's sought-after Maple Park neighborhood, where an extraordinary 85-foot-wide lot provides a sense of space that is difficult to find. Thoughtfully renovated and substantially expanded in 2005, this home combines the character and craftsmanship of its original architecture with the generous room sizes, natural light and easy flow of a much newer home. The first floor offers an ideal balance of traditional rooms and connected everyday living spaces. Gracious living and dining rooms feature beautiful Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors, substantial millwork and stunning bay windows, while the heart of the home is the expansive kitchen with abundant cabinetry, an eat-in island, breakfast counter and plenty of room for a kitchen table adjacent to the hearth and fireplace. Just beyond, the spacious family room is wrapped in windows overlooking the property. A private office (which could also be used as a guest room), powder room and thoughtfully designed and customized mudroom with storage for the whole family complete the main level. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a true retreat with a fireplace, abundant natural light and a large private bath with double vanity and walk-in shower plus a walk-in closet. Generously sized secondary bedrooms offer wonderful flexibility. The charm of a dormered nook tucked beneath the roofline in one of the bedrooms is emblematic of the added character you'll find throughout. The lower level with 8 foot ceilings
