1041 Ridge Road - Mallinckrodt In The Park - Wilmette
Mallinckrodt in the Park is located at 1041 Ridge Road, just north of Lake Avenue in Wilmette. Originally a girls' school, the building was converted into condominiums in 2005. Situated on a verdant park, the building has retained much of its original 1900s architectural features. This 55+ community is luxury country club living at its finest.
While the majority of the 81 units have two bedrooms, there are also a few one and three-bedroom units. Most of the well-appointed units feature hardwood floors, high-end chefs' kitchens with stainless steel appliances, and in-unit laundry. The large windows let in plenty of natural light, and the ample closet space provides additional storage. En-suite master baths showcase double vanities, separate shower and tub, and spacious walk in closets. Heated underground parking is available, with two spots assigned to most two-bedroom units. There is also plentiful guest parking and additional storage available. Other special amenities include elevators and building concierge services.
Residents of 1041 Ridge Road enjoy proximity to all that Ridge Road has to offer, such as Zier's Meats and the Ridgeview Grill. Public transportation is easily accessed, with bus and train stops nearby. Located on 14 acres of Wilmette Park District grounds, residents are only steps from winding paths, perennial gardens and a skating pond during the colder months. The Mallinckrodt Center, operated by the park district, has a large common room and kitchen available for events, a library, and fitness room.
Wilmette Located 14 miles north of downtown Chicago on the western shore of Lake Michigan, Wilmette was recently recognized as the best place to live in Illinois (2015). The village boasts well-developed urban forests, and has enjoyed Tree City USA status from the Arbor Day Foundation since 1983. Well-maintained parks and outdoor spaces highlight the North Shore village's dedication to staying green.
Wilmette is also home to 2 of Illinois' 17 elementary schools to be awarded the 2017 National Blue Ribbon award. The village is known for its prestigious educational institutions, and is home to some of the state's top public and private high schools. Residents can attend the acclaimed New Trier High School, Loyola Academy, and Regina Dominican High School.
The Bahá’í House of Worship calls Wilmette home, presently the only location in the United States, and was named one of the Seven Wonders of Illinois by the Illinois Bureau of Tourism in 2007. Residents of Wilmette appreciate the village's vast selection of unique boutiques and small businesses, as well as a variety of trendy dining options. One of the nation's oldest shopping centers, the Plaza del Lago, is located in Wilmette along Sheridan Road. There are two other bustling shopping centers, the Edens Plaza and West Lake Plaza, each located on Lake Street just east of the Edens Expressway.
When the time comes to make a change, entrust your sale to a true expert who possesses an intimate knowledge of your building! I genuinely appreciate the unique qualities that set your building apart and can effectively showcase the outstanding features of your unit, the enticing amenities, and the vibrant surrounding community to prospective buyers.
Get Your Unit's ValueBorn into a third generation Chicago real estate family and having 15 years of her own experience as a professional broker, Heidi Prassas Ziomek brings both experience and expertise to every step of a real estate transaction, whether it’s buying or selling a home. As a lifelong resident of Wilmette, she offers her clients the benefit of personal insights gained over a lifetime and a deep local knowledge of Chicago’s diverse North Shore neighborhoods.
Heidi credits the personal level of her client-care approach to her education, training and work experience as a nurse. Although there are vast differences between health care and real estate, both require genuine understanding of those you’re helping, namely, a keen sensitivity, clear communication and the capacity to guide others through momentous life events. Her passion for helping others eventually brought her back to the family business of managing and developing real estate.
Although she continues to be involved with property management, her passion now lies firmly with helping her clients in residential real estate. Focused always on creating success for buyers and sellers alike, Heidi’s top priority is to remain connected and engaged at every step of the process. She is authentic and trustworthy with a high degree of technological sophistication and cutting-edge market analysis.
Heidi values her clients well beyond just buying or selling their home. In fact, one of the accomplishments she is most proud of was helping a client not sell their home. When her client was facing economic hardship, Heidi helped them get a grant so that they could stay in their family home, rather than being pressed to sell. This is the compassionate care that Heidi brings to everything she does and why her clients not only love working with her but also recommend her to friends and family.
When not working, Heidi loves to spend time with her husband and three children. Cooking, playing games, listening to music, going for a sunny drive, and riding bikes together are just some of the activities that enhance her life.
