Set on an oversized extra wide and deep 75 by 192 lot in East Wilmette's highly coveted CAGE neighborhood, 809 Elmwood Avenue is a beautifully reimagined residence that seamlessly blends classic architecture with thoughtful modern updates. Just moments from Elmwood Dunes Preserve, Gillson Beach, and the shops and restaurants of… Read More Plaza del Lago, this home offers an exceptional lifestyle in one of the North Shore's most desirable settings. Extensively renovated with a three-story rear addition in 2015, the home has been thoughtfully updated to support both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The addition introduced a reimagined kitchen, family room, mudroom, and three-season room, along with a bluestone patio, and an expansive primary suite complete with a spa bath and dedicated office. The 2015 renovation also included new electrical, plumbing, windows, roofs on both the home and garage, fully renovated second-floor bathrooms, updated mechanicals, kitchen appliances, a generator, irrigation system, and invisible fence. Since then, select mechanicals and appliances have been replaced with newer systems, and portions of the second-floor baths have been further refreshed within the past five years, reflecting a continued level of care and investment throughout. A gracious foyer introduces the home's timeless character, leading to perfectly scaled living and dining rooms anchored by hardwood floors and abundant natural light. The main level unfolds into a thoughtfully designed kitchen where a large central island, SubZero, Wolf, and Miele appliances, and custom cabinetry create a functional yet elevated gathering space. The adjoining eat-in dining area is framed by windows and flows into the family room, centered around a fireplace and designed for relaxed daily living. Designed with indoor-outdoor living in mind, the family room opens to a generous 20'9 x 16' deck well suited for al fresco dining featuring a wood-burning fireplace that creates an inviting setting ideal for crisp evenings and relaxed gatherings, all complemented by a charming three-season room that extends the living space throughout the year. The professionally landscaped front and back yard, complete with irrigation, offers exceptional scale rarely found in this location. The second level features four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a serene primary suite. Complete with a dedicated office or sitting room, walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath, the primary suite balances comfort and functionality. Three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms complete the second level, along with a conveniently located laundry area that adds ease to daily living. The third floor provides a versatile additional living space, ideal as a guest suite, au-pair living, or playroom, with generous proportions, a full bathroom and abundant storage. The lower level offers a wide range of flexible spaces, including a large recreation room, media room, exercise room, wine cellar, and dedicated laundry area. Ideally located just steps to the lake, parks, and Wilmette's most beloved amenities, 809 Elmwood Avenue offers a rare opportunity to own a turnkey home perfect for those seeking a seamless transition from city living to the North Shore.
