About 611 Elmwood Ave
Welcome to a masterful blend of historic charm and modern luxury. Perfectly situated on an expansive 75x196 lot just steps from Lake Michigan and Elmwood Dunes, this distinguished farmhouse has been thoughtfully expanded and exquisitely renovated to offer over 8,200 square feet of refined living space. From the moment you step through the custom Grand Sapele front door, the home's craftsmanship is evident-original quartersawn oak floors, coffered ceilings, and a hand-carved wood mantel reflect its storied past, while contemporary updates make it ideal for today's lifestyle. With 5 spacious bedrooms, 4.2 bathrooms, and countless bespoke touches, this residence is tailored for both relaxed family living and sophisticated entertaining. The light-filled living room features a gas fireplace, custom built-ins, and a whimsical reading nook, while the elegant dining room leads to a chef's kitchen that truly impresses-complete with a commercial-grade Vulcan 6-burner range with double ovens and salamander, full-size fridge and freezer, oversized island, breakfast room, and a fully outfitted butler's pantry. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a private retreat, offering dual walk-in closets and a spa-like bath with a steam shower, soaking tub, heated floors, and a private loft for an office or cozy escape. Four additional bedrooms, including an ensuite and Jack-and-Jill configuration, provide flexible options for family or guests. A fully equipped exercise room-with barre bar, mirrors, Sono speakers, dance pole, sauna, and access to a large deck-adds an unexpected layer of luxury. The lower level is designed for fun and function, featuring a high-performance home theater with sound insulation, starry ceiling, party lights, and a full wet bar. A large rec room, full bath, and 600-square-foot workshop complete this level. Outside, the professionally landscaped backyard is a serene oasis with two decks (one featuring a gas grill hookup and the other with built-in benches and a gas fire table), a fenced and irrigated garden, and a rare combination of attached 2-car and detached 2.5-car garages. Set within walking distance to both Downtown Wilmette and Plaza del Lago, this extraordinary home offers the best of North Shore living-historic character, modern amenities, and an unbeatable location.
