About this home

Single Family · Built 1895 · Historic

I just realized that I forgot to change the remarks for the rental listing. Please change them to read:Spectacular 4+bedroom home in East Wilmette. The interior is architectually significant with quarter sawn oak floors, pocket doors, oversized windows and a turret. The kitchen is updated as are the bathrooms and the home is fully air conditioned. The wrap around porch, with a couple of comfy swings, add to the charm of this special home. The location cannot be beat with the lake and beach a block away and town, train and schools all within walking distance. For more information on this property, contact the listing agent, Carol Grant at (847) 421-7501 or cgrant@koenigstrey.com.
