Built in 1893 and designated a Wilmette Historic Landmark in 2002, this extraordinary Queen Anne residence offers a rare opportunity to own a home of true architectural significance. The property’s story began in 1892, when Hattie Walter purchased the land for her husband, W. Mead Walter-a partner in the architectural firm Walter & Goebel-to design a home for their family. While the firm designed a number of residences throughout the area, this home was notably more ornate, reflecting the Queen Anne style popular in England in the late 19th century. More than 130 years later, the home retains remarkable architectural integrity thanks to an extensive restoration project that took place from 1990 to 1991 and earned the home a historic preservation award for exterior restoration. The home’s three octagonal turrets are quite unique and add a striking visual feature to the home. A sweeping front porch welcomes you into the spacious foyer, where the craftsmanship and character of the home are immediately apparent. Just off the entry, a charming open office features two walls of built-in bookshelves. The gracious formal living room is anchored by one of the home’s signature octagonal window bays and a cozy gas-lit fireplace. This room flows seamlessly into the family room, featuring a wood-burning fireplace and beautiful built-in cabinetry. An oversized formal dining room is surrounded by windows, filling the space with natural light. The kitchen was thoughtfully updated in 2006 wit
