Sunny and functional was the outcome of this Leader Builders project, which entailed building a first floor addition with basement for this charming original Wilmette home from the 1940s. Large window wells were added in the 9-foot deep basement to get plenty of light in the lower-level playroom, which, together with the luxurious bathroom, completes this section of the house. Multiple changes were also made to the existing first floor. The kitchen was extended; a creative, rounded breakfast area was added; and the family's favorite new feature, the mudroom, was added. The mudroom has cubbies, a bench seat, shelves, and hooks-the perfect place for three little children to place their favorite items in an organized fashion. Patio doors and a grand wood deck space outside complete the vision of this home.
