730 Lake Avenue: Timeless Elegance and Thoughtful Design

Timeless Elegance and Thoughtful Design
Welcome to 730 Lake Avenue, Wilmette – an extraordinary opportunity to own a piece of history, beautifully reimagined for today's luxury lifestyle. Located on a coveted, tree-lined block in East Wilmette, this architectural masterpiece sits on a meticulously maintained half-acre lot behind a stately iron fence, exuding timeless elegance.
Originally crafted with remarkable old-world craftsmanship, the home underwent a transformative renovation in 2005, followed by a masterful expansion in 2009. Every detail has been thoughtfully enhanced, blending classic charm with modern sophistication. The wraparound front porch sets the tone for the inviting, yet grand interiors.
At the heart of the home is the breathtaking NuHaus kitchen, a culinary showpiece crowned by a magnificent skylight. This space boasts professional-grade appliances and overlooks the lush outdoor landscape. The renovation introduced a butler's pantry, mudroom, second half-bath, and a lower level featuring a recreation room and full bath – perfect for modern living and entertaining.
The outdoor spaces are equally impressive. A private bluestone terrace and an upper-level patio complete with a grilling station, are ideal for hosting gatherings or enjoying tranquil evenings in privacy. A spacious three-car garage adds convenience and practicality.
Wilmette offers a unique blend of suburban charm and urban convenience, known for its top-rated schools, beautiful parks, and proximity to Lake Michigan. Residents enjoy a thriving downtown area with boutique shops, fine dining, and cultural attractions such as the Wilmette Theatre and the Baha'i House of Worship. Its well-maintained beaches, excellent public services, and easy access to downtown Chicago via the Metra make it a highly desirable location for families and professionals alike.
This residence is more than just a home; it’s a statement of timeless elegance and thoughtful design, perfectly positioned in one of Wilmette’s most desirable neighborhoods. Don't miss the rare opportunity to make 730 Lake Avenue your own.
