Welcome to this enchanting Victorian gem in the heart of NE Evanston-where historic charm meets contemporary comfort! The best location close to Noyes St, downtown, and the beach, this meticulously updated home is TRULY turn-key, everything has been taken care of for you. Windows have been replaced, floors refinished, kitchen and baths updated, closets organized, basement finished .... the list of improvements goes on. Soaring 9.5 foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and handsome moldings speak to the home's rich heritage, while a thoughtful kitchen renovation has seamlessly woven in today's most desired amenities. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece featuring custom cabinetry, honed quartzite countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances.
