Description
Located just one block from the lake in southeast Evanston's sought-after Lakeshore Historic District, this classic brick Colonial blends vintage character with everyday comfort. The home offers 5 bedrooms across the second and third floors, along with 3.5 bathrooms-including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and private bath. Throughout the home, original features like leaded glass windows, hardwood floors, an oversized gas fireplace, and well-preserved vintage tile bathrooms add charm and warmth. The galley-style kitchen includes 42" maple cabinets and high-end appliances, with room to personalize or expand. The third floor includes two additional bedrooms plus a separate study or home office - ideal for remote work, creative space, or quiet retreat. A large deck off the back overlooks a deep, landscaped yard with mature trees-perfect for outdoor living. Just blocks from Main Street shops, restaurants, Metra, and CTA-this is a rare opportunity in one of Evanston's most walkable and scenic neighborhoods. City-approved, architectural plans are available to show how the home can be expanded or reimagined to suit modern needs, while maintaining its historic character.
