About this property

Charming Turn-of-the-Century Victorian in Prime Evanston Location. Nestled on one of Evanston's most sought-after blocks, this beautifully renovated turn-of-the-century home blends timeless Victorian architectural charm with modern updates. Ideally located just moments from Lake Michigan, Dempster Street shopping, the "El," SPACE music venue, Chiaravalle Montessori School, and both Downtown Evanston and Main Street retail districts. Abundant natural light fills the home, highlighting the exceptional, flexible first-floor layout. The reimagined open floor plan seamlessly integrates original architectural details with contemporary living. A welcoming foyer features a graceful curved staircase and stained-glass window, while the cozy library boasts French doors and a gas fireplace. The bright, spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace opens to a formal dining room and a large, private screened-in porch-perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The bright and updated kitchen is complete with a Viking range, farmhouse sink, custom cabinetry, vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, and a sunny breakfast area. Upstairs, the private primary suite offers a serene retreat with a gas fireplace and a luxurious marble-tiled bath, featuring a soaking tub and walk-in shower. Three additional bedrooms share a renovated hall bath; two bedrooms are connected by shared closets and charming ladder rungs that lead to a whimsical "secret" entrance to the third-floor family room. The newly built staircase leads to a spacious, open-concept third floor-ideal for a home office, teen lounge, or creative studio. The finished basement includes an exercise room, office or guest room, full bathroom, laundry, and additional storage. The large backyard is designed for easy and fun outdoor living, featuring a deck with a pergola-covered dining area, brick patio with a koi pond, new 2-car garage, and ample space for both gardening and play.
