1042 Pontiac Road offers an exceptionally lovely blend of architectural charm, impeccable quality, attractive updating, and wonderful livability in one of Wilmette’s most popular neighborhoods. The house is sited on a beautiful 1/3 acre lot with landscape designed and maintained by Chalet Landscape and featuring perennial gardens, mature trees and large lawns enhanced by two bluestone patios and a charming front porch.
This very special Colonial style home was designed by noted architects Keck & Keck and was one of the first of their many projects in what is now known as Indian Hill Estates. The home features a wonderful circular floor plan that flows easily from formal to the casual areas that all open to outdoor spaces. The attractively appointed rooms are bright and comfortable with lots of pretty architectural details. The casually elegant living room is accented by a beamed ceiling and handsome fireplace. The formal dining room is perfect for both casual dining and entertaining. The updated designer kitchen features Wood Mode cabinetry, a large island with seating, top-quality appliances, great storage and counter space, table area, skylights and French doors to a patio. The kitchen opens onto a warm and inviting family room anchored by a fireplace that is flanked by built-in cabinetry plus two walls of French doors that access both north and south patios. The main floor is completed by a light and airy year-round sunroom that transitions perfectly between the formal and casual areas of the house . . . it’s a great bonus to the overall floorplan.
The second floor boasts a gorgeous master suite with fireplace, two walk-in closets, tastefully-appointed bath with heated floors, soaking tub, vanity with double sinks and separate shower. Family bedrooms 2 and 3 enjoy bright interiors, hardwood floors and a recently remodeled hall bath with a knockout shower! The fourth bedroom is another bonus to the functionality of this home as it provides unique flexibility. It is accessed by its own staircase (from the family room) or through bedroom #3. The room is large and could be a wonderful bedroom suite for one or two or even three children, a guest room, an au pair suite, or a live-in parent’s private space.
The basement level is impeccably clean, dry and well lit. There is a bright, cheerful recreation room that works as a playroom, or exercise room or media room or a mancave. The laundry room is large and well-organized. The utility room is also large with good storage and there is also a tool room. Last but not least is a coveted attached two- car garage.
This home has it all... exceptional quality, great bones, great looks, wonderful living spaces, careful updating and maintenance, a beautiful lot in a prime location, a sought after school district and neighborhood ...all the important elements of a “forever” home.
