Welcome home to eight hundred fourteen Park Avenue, an award-winning home in the sought-after McKenzie neighborhood. This beautiful home was recognized with the Wilmette two thousand nineteen Historic Preservation Award for exemplary preservation and enhancement. (Interesting fact: Originally owned by Wilmette's first dry goods store owner). Eight hundred fourteen Park sits on an outstanding lot (fifty by two hundred forty!) and is walk-to-so-much including McKenzie Elementary School, town, train, library, and half block to Vattman Park. Let's begin with the welcoming front porch - and who doesn't love a front porch and a porch swing! The tasteful living room, with wood burning fireplace, is warm and welcoming and flows into the spacious dining room with bay windows. The dining room leads into both the kitchen and also the family room. Great flow in this house. Beautiful kitchen with expansive island seating four. Stone countertops, custom cabinetry, glass cabinet lighting are the nice touches that make this chef's kitchen lovely and perfect for cooking, gathering and entertaining. Perfectly open to the great family room where you will find a fireplace with gas starter, built-in bookcases and a beautiful view to the huge backyard! A separate office and pretty powder room complete the first floor. The primary suite was added to the home when the sellers did the renovation. It includes a vaulted ceiling, French doors overlooking the yard, generous walk-in closet and handsome primary bathroom with oversized marble shower, separate water closet, double sink, and lovely black granite floor that the sellers patterned after The Mark Hotel in New York City. All three secondary bedrooms are spacious and the secondary bathroom includes double sinks and a bubbler soaking tub. Before heading to the basement, take note that the walk up third floor attic is phenomenal storage space currently but a great opportunity to create more finished space. Second office perhaps? Play space? The basement includes a recreation room, exercise space, half bathroom, large laundry room with cabinetry and counter space, storage space and one of the special features of the house: a lovely wine cellar! The two-car garage was completely renovated and includes walk up garage attic space for storage and is wired for an electric vehicle charger. Wow! And speaking of special features, the backyard is amazing! It includes a back porch, a back patio, a fire pit seating area at the back of the lot, and so much yard space! Imagine family gatherings on this two hundred forty-foot deep lot. Lots of grass for soccer and volleyball nets; corn hole; gardening; or just quiet evenings around the fire pit. Eight hundred fourteen Park Avenue offers so muchand is a beautiful blend of historic charmand contemporary conveniences for today's lifestyle.Trulya wonderful home propertyand location.Make this one yours!
