Description
Snow-season charmer just steps from the lake and park, offering the very best of the Evanston lifestyle. This beautifully updated vintage boutique building is a cozy and welcoming landing spot for the holidays and well beyond-set one block from Lake Michigan and close to trains, cafes, neighborhood shopping, and everyday conveniences that make Evanston so livable. Inside, the completely remodeled apartment blends classic character with thoughtful modern updates, including brand-new flooring, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, fresh finishes, crown molding, updated lighting, new windows, and generous closet space. The bright, inviting layout works equally well for quiet nights in or hosting friends after a walk along the lake or an evening downtown. Step out the back door to enjoy the shared garden, convenient on-site laundry (included in the assessment), and your own large private storage cage. Common areas also include a rear patio with picnic table and grill-perfect for warmer months and casual gatherings with neighbors. The building is well maintained with a newer roof and recent tuckpointing. Pet-friendly for both cats and dogs. No rentals. Easy street parking. Set in a community known for its walkability, lakefront access, independent shops, dining, and strong neighborhood feel, this is a move-in-ready home that truly reflects Evanston living.
