Don't miss out on this extremely cute and solid three-bedroom ranch, offering a great opportunity and value in Wilmette. Move right in with updated bathrooms, wood floors throughout, eat-in kitchen, and charming finished basement (with optional 4th bedroom). All of the big ticket items have been updated - new roof on the house and garage, all new windows, new furnace (and new humidifier), new a/c unit, and recently paved driveway. Outside is s nice paver patio overlooking the pretty yard and 2-car heated garage. This friendly, low-traffic cul-de-sac neighborhood location places you in walking distance to all the highly-rated k-8 Wilmette schools - in fact, this section of Romona Rd is just 2-blocks from award-winning Blue Ribbon Romona Elementary school, yet outside of the drop off and pick up traffic pattern. Also walk to the Wilmette Parks & Rec Center, restaurants, shops, etc. Easy commuter access and just a few minutes to Old Orchard shopping mall (stores, restaurants, movies).
