823 16th Street
Wilmette, IL 60091

Wonderful wonderful home in one of the North Shore's most prized and sought-after locations - McKenzie Square. Walk to Metra (4 blocks), Vattman and Howard Parks (1 block each), McKenzie Elementary (no busy streets to cross and 3 blocks) and the fabulous downtown Wilmette! Location could not be sweeter - and a modest walk or bike ride to Gillson Beach and Lake Michigan. Wow! This special home, which sits on a cobblestone street, is an expanded brick bungalow with great curb appeal and includes a 243 ft deep lot!!!! Fabulous for entertaining, gardening, lounging and play time. The first floor was expanded to include a large family room off the spacious and updated kitchen. This wonderful kitchen has white shaker cabinetry, table space, stainless appliances, stone counter tops, and overlooks the back yard. Fab! The living room is lovely with a pretty fireplace; and LR opens to a front sunroom that easily can be an office. Large dining room opens to the living room, kitchen and family room. On the second floor are three bedrooms and two baths and a balcony off the primary bedroom. The basement includes rec space, great storage, an office nook, laundry and full bath! Newly built 3-car garage is a huge plus! It currently has only two doors for 2 cars but amazing extra space for bikes and "stuff" and a 3rd door could be added. Welcome home to this peaceful, convenient, fabulous home. As someone who raised my kids around the block and enjoyed years of block parties and neighborhood garage sales and friends and kids galore, I can promise you it is a wonderful place to call home.
