Lovely red brick, center-entry colonial in the heart of NW Evanston. This sun-filled home with amazing South exposures exudes warmth and charm. A 2008 large addition seamlessly compliments the original home. The inviting living room (with wood burning fireplace) and separate dining room both have original built-ins and lovely architectural detail. The addition expanded the eat-in kitchen/family room and added a two-car attached, heated garage. The updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops opens to the family room with concealed built-in storage made of stunning Shinnoki Oak wall paneling. Off the family room is a back entrance with a mudroom landing area which exits to the beautifully landscaped yard (with an in-ground sprinkler system!). The second floor is just as sunny and boasts a huge primary suite with a large primary bath and 2 walk-in closets. As a special treat, the primary also has a Juliette balcony overlooking the yard. The second floor has 3 more good-size bedrooms with large closets, an updated hall bath and laundry. Finished basement has rec room, extra laundry hook-up and large storage area. Hardwood floors on first and second floor. Amazing location - a stone's throw away from Willard Elementary school and walking distance to shop, parks and restaurants on Central St as well as downtown Wilmette. Meticulously maintained and updated. Nothing to do but move in and enjoy the rest of the summer!
