744 Sheridan Rd., Wilmette

744 Sheridan Road in East Wilmette has been turning heads since it was constructed at the corner of Sheridan Road and Washington Street, just one block west of Lake Michigan built in 1927.

This magnificent three-story French-styled villa with steep pitch slate roof makes this residence stand out as a rare treasure along prestigious Sheridan Road.

During the mid 1940s, Bandleader Percy Faith and his family occupied this magnificent home while hosting the “Carnation Contented Hour” radio show at NBC studios in Chicago.  Faith, whose most recognizable song, “A Summer Place”, is often credited with creating the easy listening sound of the 1950s.

Purchased in 2007 in “as is” condition, this stone/brick treasure has been lovingly restored and updated by the current homeowner, a renowned architect, who took special care to maintain the home’s integrity and restore the home to its original grandeur.  

Today, this 6,000-square-foot, 14-room home features five bedrooms, including an amazing master suite with private loft and patio, 4.1 baths, a gourmet kitchen and stunning architectural features.   

In addition to being rated by the Wilmette Historical Society as a Significant Historical Building, the home is also a candidate for Local Landmark Status.
