Property Description

Set in the Evanston Lakeshore Historic District, this light-filled 6 bed/3.5 bath Victorian offers incredible space, beautiful architectural detail, and a floor plan ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. A classic front porch and welcoming foyer opens to a spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace and a separate dining room with built-in storage, perfect for hosting. The bright, airy kitchen features a large granite island, white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and patio doors that frame the landscaped backyard and lead to an oversized back deck with privacy lattice, creating seamless indoor/outdoor flow. A cozy den with second fireplace and a newly renovated, well-designed mudroom with butler pantry, leading to a full-size laundry room complete the main level. 2nd floor offers four bedrooms and two full baths, including a rare primary suite with an enormous, full room walk-in closet with built-in organizers and updated ensuite bath with large walk-in shower. The fully finished 3rd floor provides a bonus family room, two additional bedrooms and a full hall bath with subway tile walk-in shower. Newly finished (2023) basement offers a rec/game room and office with glass panel French doors, along with a workshop room, mechanical room and storage. Amazing details including 10' ceilings on main level, gorgeous stained glass and beveled windows, hardwood floors throughout the top three floors, and smart home automation features. Newly replaced (2021) oversized 2.5 car garage and fully fenced backyard with sprinkler system, brick paver patio, and fireplace pit complete the package. All of this in a premier southeast Evanston location, just blocks to Lake Michigan, the "L," Metra, parks, NU shuttle, schools, restaurants and shopping. A rare combination of historic charm, generous space, numerous updates and an unbeatable close-to-everything setting.
