Welcome to 412 Central in Wilmette, where lake life and luxury living come together, just three blocks from Gillson Beach. Set on an oversized 100' x 175' landscaped lot with mature trees and incredible privacy, this is the kind of home that feels like a getaway, while still being right in the heart of everything. Built by Talmadge & Watson and thoughtfully renovated and redesigned with a seamless three-story addition, the home pairs classic architecture with bright, modern living. With 5 bedrooms, 5.1 baths, calm finishes, and sunlight pouring in through large windows, every space feels fresh, airy, and effortlessly elevated. The main level is designed for the way people live now, open, connected, and perfect for entertaining. A stunning living room with a rebuilt fireplace and custom details flows into a bright sunroom that works beautifully as a home office, reading nook, or lounge space. A spacious dining room is ready for summer dinners and holiday hosting, anchored by an incredible butler's pantry with a beverage fridge, copper sink, and Sub-Zero ice maker, because entertaining should feel easy. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is truly a centerpiece: Wolf + Sub-Zero appliances, dual Waterstone faucets, a walk-in pantry, and a stunning 10-foot island where everyone naturally gathers, whether it's coffee in the morning, homework after school, or cocktails before a night in the village. The kitchen opens to a light-filled family room with a stone fireplace and casual eating area, all overlooking the backyard, an outdoor space built for beach-town living. A bluestone patio features a built-in Big Green Egg, gas grill, and outdoor storage, and the professionally landscaped yard is expansive, even large enough for a pool. A mudroom with three closets and a dog wash station (or to wash those sandy toes) makes post-beach cleanup a breeze. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat with a private balcony (wired and plumbed for a hot tub + sound system), gas fireplace, two walk-in closets, and a spa-like bath with a cast iron soaking tub, oversized steam shower, heated floors, and dual vanities. Three additional bedrooms are bright and spacious, including one ensuite, perfect for guests or anyone who loves a little extra privacy. And the third floor is the ultimate space, a full lounge level with custom built-ins, a kitchenette with wet bar + Sub-Zero fridge, and a private bedroom with an ensuite bath. It's perfect for guests, teens, an au pair, or what today's buyers want most: a quiet home office or creative space away from the main living areas. The finished lower level adds even more flexibility with 9-foot ceilings, poured concrete floors, Sonos sound, a movie room, game room, gym with full bath, second laundry, and a temperature-controlled wine cellar. Just steps to the lake and minutes to the village, parks, Central Elementary, and the Metra, 412 Central is Wilmette at its best: classic, bright, and fully updated for an effortless lakefront lifestyle.
