526 Isabella, Wilmette IL 60091
Property Description
Homes like this don't come around often in east Wilmette. Set on a prominent corner lot in an unbeatable walk-to-everything location, this home stands apart from the typical 1920s housing stock. Originally built in the 1960s and expanded in 2006, it offers larger room sizes, a more functional layout, and the kind of everyday ease that is hard to find this close to the lake. With approximately 2,500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, and 3.5 baths, the home is filled with natural light and anchored by hardwood floors throughout. The main level offers exceptional flow, with a spacious living room, defined dining area, and an open kitchen designed for how people actually live. The kitchen features rich wood cabinetry, generous counter space, and a large island with seating that connects seamlessly to the adjacent family room with fireplace. One of the most compelling spaces in the home is the oversized screened porch, offering a true extension of the living space and an ideal setting for morning coffee, summer evenings, and everything in between. It flows seamlessly into a private patio and large fenced side yard. Upstairs, all four bedrooms are well-proportioned, including a spacious primary suite, with room sizes that feel notably larger than many homes nearby. A 2nd en-suite bedroom offers another modern amenity. The freshly updated basement provides excellent additional living space, perfect for recreation, fitness, or office. All of this and a rare attached two-car garage with an EV charger! Just a few blocks to both to the Metra and the El, you are also in proximity to restaurants and coffee shops along Central Street in Evanston and still walkable to downtown. Wilmette, Canal Shores Golf Course, Northwestern, Gillson Beach, and everything this location has to offer. If you love east Wilmette but want a home that lives comfortably day-to-day, this is a rare opportunity.
