Single Family · Built 1872 · Historic
Take advantage of all the best Evanston has to offer in this lovely Evanston landmark historic home near Northwestern University, the downtown Evanston public transit hub, and the world-class city of Chicago. Set on a partially-wooded lot just a half-block from the shores of Lake Michigan, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath home has a large front porch with skylights--perfect for sitting and enjoying the sound of the waves crashing on the nearby beach. The entry is gracious and welcoming, and the home has gorgeous hardwood floors, tall 6-foot windows and 10-foot ceilings throughout. The large living and dining rooms feature big bay windows, two fireplaces, and built-in shelving in each room. Details include a stained glass window above the living room bay, historic designs on the door trim, and marble fireplace mantles. At some time in the home's long history, the kitchen was relocated to the former butler's pantry, and the former kitchen was converted to a nice family room adjacent to a mud room. Upstairs are 5 bedrooms--one with an en suite bath and another with private access to a large back balcony/deck, perfect for viewing the sunrise when trees are not in bloom. The third floor is a semi-finished space with a sink and skylights--so many possibilities for what this space could be. This home has been lovingly cared for by one owner for the past 65 years; recent updates in the past 3 years include: a completely new sewer line, new roof, and all new Hardie Board clapboard siding. Other updates include a tankless water heater, central air and updated electrical. You'll enjoy the backyard patio, nestled among beautiful groundcover which includes more than 25 native and endangered plants. The 2-car garage was built with a 2-level artist's studio/office/living space with a separate entrance that potentially could be an Auxiliary Dwelling Unit as defined by the City of Evanston. Ask listing agent about the ADU requirements and income potential. Don't miss this gem!! Easy to show.
