245 Greenleaf Ave, Wilmette, IL 60091

Showings start Friday June 2. East Wilmette at its finest! Situated on a lovely brick cul de sac, a block from Lake Michigan this beautiful lime stone colonial may be the perfect home for you! Gracious foyer leads to oversized living room with wood burning fireplace and lovely built-in bookshelves. Architecturally significant, as the home was built by the designer of The Merchandise Mart, the crown molding and picture rails provide a perfect backdrop for your artwork - or hang a TV - you be you! You will truly "live" in this living room, with its grand scale and abundance of light. The dining room is equally stunning with gorgeous wainscoting and large windows to view the back yard gardens. The kitchen was updated in 2019 to include an island, top of the line chef approved appliances and plentiful storage. Butler's pantry with beverage refrigerator and glass shelving leads to the family room. The family room is a wonderful place to gather & relax while enjoying the natural light that streams into the room. Family room door leads to the fabulous stone deck and patio. Upstairs you will be awed by the very large landing - great elbow room for the whole family. The primary suite is enormous, with two closets and a recently updated primary bathroom. The three additional bedrooms are all large with great closet space. Hardwood floors throughout the whole home, and NEW WINDOWS IN THE WHOLE HOUSE! Fresh contemporary paint colors are perfect for any decor style. Down in the basement is a fun and finished recreation room, with a full bath and massive storage space. The walk-up basement leads you to the back yard. Can we talk about this back yard?? The space has an English garden feel, with a stone deck that leads to the patio, and all surrounded by beautiful and colorful mature plants and trees. Gorgeous deep lot with lush green lawn. The 3 car garage was built in 2009 and is pretty to look at, and provides all the space you need. Steps from the Wilmette Harbor, Canal Shores Golf Course at the end of the street and a short walk to the town, train and schools. Great house!
