Five years ago homes like the one in this video easily sold for $1.8M and above in similar locations in East Wilmette.

Today, the owner-agent has priced the home at $1,229,000, which is less than the price that she and her husband bought the home for ten years ago.

The 4-5 bedroom, 4 ½ bath, 2-car garage home at 607 Lake Ave in Wilmette, boasts a great location and a raft of features — more than we mention in the video. The hot tub, on a third-floor deck, gets year-round use despite the fact that we failed to video it.

Carmen Corbett of Coldwell Banker is the listing agent, our tour guide in the video, and an owner.
