Set on a beautifully landscaped lot in the heart of McKenzie Square, this classic, all-brick center entry Colonial has been exceptionally well maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years. Wonderful flow and space throughout with 5 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, gracious room sizes, finished basement and attic. Enter through a formal foyer with decorative inlay hardwoods and a large coat closet. To the right, a sun-filled formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and an impressive decorative mantle sets a welcoming tone. Off to the left, the dining room offers generous space for holiday entertaining and quiet dinners at home. The heart of the home is the open kitchen and family room looking out to an oversized deck and backyard. The kitchen features white cabinetry, Thermador/Sub-Zero/Bosch stainless steel appliances, double sink with dedicated water heater, dark granite countertops and breakfast peninsula and a walk-in pantry with pocket door. An eat-in breakfast room with skylights overhead brings in wonderful natural light from above. An enormous walk-out deck, accessible from both the breakfast area and the family room, extends the living space, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Upstairs, the primary suite spans the width of the rear of the home with vaulted ceilings, and windows on three exposures overlooking the deck and backyard. Double walk-in closets with professional organizers and a spacious en-suite bath with a glass-enclosed steam shower with built-in bench, double vanity, and a large linen closet complete the suite. Three additional bedrooms on this level all feature hardwood floors and closet organizers. Cozy and carpeted 3rd floor offers flexible space for a study or playroom with additional storage. The finished basement rounds out the home with 9' ceilings and heated floors, a 5th bedroom, full bath, built-in bar with quartz countertops and beverage fridge, and a separate dedicated wine cellar. 1st floor full size laundry room with newer (2025) side-by-side LG washer/dryer, laundry sink, extra storage and separate mudroom make everyday life easy. Tons of additional features, updates and improvements to hit the practical side of living, including a central vac throughout with kitchen sweep, whole-house tankless water heater, backup generator, Eero high-speed WiFi, recessed lighting, in-ceiling speakers, and a new tear-off roof (2018). The backyard offers a newly resurfaced deck (2025) sized for serious entertaining, a play area with swing set tucked alongside mature plantings, and a detached heated 2.5 car garage. Shutters and hardwood floors including brand new hardwoods in the back half of the main level give the home a cohesive, traditional feel. Amazing McKenzie Square location close to McKenzie School, Howard Park, Metra and downtown Wilmette restaurants and shopping.
