Description

An incredible opportunity awaits on one of NW Evanston's most coveted tree-lined streets! This classic 1931 Colonial is brimming with timeless charm, character, and potential. Lovingly maintained by the same owners for nearly 50 years, the home is ready for its next chapter- offering a rare chance to renovate, restore, and create instant equity in an awesome location. The main floor showcases pretty parquet hardwood floors, original plaster moldings, and an impressive staircase. The spacious living room, centered around a stately wood-burning fireplace, opens to a bright and welcoming sunroom through elegant French doors. The formal dining room is perfect for entertaining, illuminated by designer light fixtures and natural light. The galley kitchen, renovated in 1983, features classic Allmilmo cabinetry, premium storage solutions, and luxury appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator and Thermador gas cooktop, and double ovens. This space opens to a bright breakfast room addition with vaulted ceilings and serene backyard views. A private den/office with built-ins and a gas fireplace makes for the perfect work-from-home space or cozy den. A charming powder room with an original sink completes this level. Upstairs, each of the four bedrooms boasts its own ensuite bath-a rare find! The spacious primary suite offers two good sized closets and a large bath with an updated shower and separate soaking tub. The large unfinished basement is a blank slate, ready for a rec room, additional bedrooms, or whatever your vision entails. The gorgeous custom landscaping was designed by respected landscape architect Scott Byron. This home presents a rare opportunity to add value while preserving its incredible architectural details. Ideally located near top-rated schools, parks, the Metra, and Central Street's vibrant shops and dining. Don't miss your chance to make this historic gem your own!
