Property Description

Welcome to 633 Forest Avenue, a beautiful and graciously sized classic home on a large tree filled corner lot in the most desirable "Cage" location of East Wilmette. An inviting gabled covered porch and oversized front door leads into this impressive home with high ceilings, custom millwork, beautiful hardwood floors, and spacious living areas that flow well with large windows creating airy and sun lit spaces throughout. The first floor foyer leads to a spacious living room with a wood burning fireplace and space for a piano or reading area, the adjacent dining room connects to a huge family room with a gorgeous beamed ceiling. The two spaces share a wall of divided glass casement windows that can be left open or closed. The dining room has french doors leading to a sunporch/office area that walks down to the lush and deep backyard. The dining room also connects seamlessly to the huge chef's kitchen with a massive island, walls of cabinetry, a separate eating area, and updated stainless appliances (most are brand new), including a professional style gas range. The kitchen has a mudroom area leading out to the yard. Following the circular floor plan the kitchen leads back to the front foyer, down to the basement, and upstairs via a rear stair or back to the attractive front staircase. The 2nd floor features a large primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and a connected sitting area (a former sleeping porch), 3 more spacious bedrooms, including another with its own porch, and a newly remodeled hall bath with a separate shower and soaking tub. On the 3rd floor there are two more bedrooms, a large sitting room connects them, and a recently updated bathroom with a separate shower and bath. This third floor can easily be converted into a spacious and private primary suite. The basement is unfinished, but water tight and clean, offering endless storage and even another bathroom and bedroom along with a direct walk out to the yard. The large yard has a brick paver patio and winding walkway to the 3.5 car garage with adjacent parking for two more cars. The home is being sold as/is, but it has been meticulously maintained and loved by the same owners for over 50 years. The exterior siding was recently repainted and a new roof installed last year. The water heater is 3 years old, main furnace is 16 years, garage roof 7 years, new windows installed on the 2nd floor this year. A lovely vintage home only a few blocks from Lake Michigan that is both so well-maintained and ready for personalization is a rare find.
