This environmentally-conscious home is set on a 100' wide lot overlooking the boulevard section of Michigan Ave., just a few blocks from the beautiful lakefront, Elliot Park. The massive, custom Marvin windows and generous outdoor spaces allow the residents to fully enjoy the eastern exposures, which overlook the tranquil Stockham Place Park. This peaceful location is perfect for easy access to downtown Evanston, trains, beaches, parks, Northwestern University, and Dewey Elementary School. ------ LIVE! WORK! STUDY! PLAY! at this absolutely perfect abode for the current times. Everyone can all be together in a massive, open area, comprised of a living area, dining area, kitchen, and family room with a fireplace. This open area does not have any dividing walls or posts. When you are ready to work, study, or relax, there are four separate, private rooms on the main level, including one with exterior access for visitors to your home-office.

There are eucalyptus hardwood floors throughout, 6" exterior walls packed with extra insulation, mature trees for shade, and native plantings for the front landscaping. The specialized house systems include a whole-house water filter, radiant floor heat in the basement + floor heat for all bathrooms, and heat pumps fed by geothermal energy, which provides for minimal energy usage to create a perfectly comfortable, year-round indoor climate.
