1924 Lake Avenue Set on an extraordinary garden property in the heart of Wilmette, 1924 Lake Avenue offers a rare combination of history, creativity, and vision. Originally constructed in the late 1800s, this one-of-a-kind oasis includes three distinct structures: the main house with an attached greenhouse, a separate cottage/studio, and a substantial workshop/garage. The grounds, designed by legendary landscape architect Craig Bergmann, create a setting that feels private, immersive, and unlike anything else on the North Shore. The main house features three bedrooms and one and a half baths, with warm, inviting living spaces, beautifully proportioned rooms, timeless details, and a character-rich kitchen and dining area that reflect the home's artistic spirit. Just off the kitchen, the climate-controlled greenhouse is one of the home's most memorable features. Feeling like a natural extension of the living space, it offers a remarkable year-round setting for dining, relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the surrounding gardens. Upstairs, the second floor includes three bedrooms and a beautifully renovated full bathroom, with each space filled with natural light and charm. The basement level includes a laundry area and plenty of storage space. The separate cottage/studio adds over 500 square feet with its own half bath, offering exceptional flexibility for a home office, creative studio, fitness space, guest overflow, or whatever your needs may be. The workshop/garage provides space for three cars, an expansive work area, and storage. The garage roof includes solar panels and a rooftop garden, adding yet another layer of utility and originality. From winding brick paths and intimate seating areas to lush gardens and thoughtfully integrated outdoor rooms, every part of this property feels intentional and inspiring. 1924 Lake Avenue is an incredible opportunity for a buyer seeking a truly memorable setting. Don't miss this special place to call home.
