Description

A golden opportunity on one of Evanston's coolest streets... the quiet two-block long Ridge Court. This 1887 brick Victorian home sits on an absolute magnificent property. The newly fenced lot is huge - approximately 50x189x50x199 (9880 Sq Ft zoned R1) and has a paved alley. Currently a 1600 SF 3 bedroom home with a family room and wood burning fireplace. All 3 floors would offer 2500 square feet of living space. There is so much potential here as the basement offers an opportunity to renovate the living space that used to be an apartment. A perfect opportunity for use as an in-law suite, au pair space, or home office with private entry. Long time owners have provided the following list of upgrades:roof (1997),200 amp electric (1999), HVAC (2010), hardwired security system, newer gutters,newer stainless appliances,newer storms/screens,new fence, tuck pointing and exterior paint (2018), remodeled second floor bath, and many replacement windows. There are 20 years of amazing plantings and trees on this property and there is a garden shed attached to the house. The older garage is no longer being used for a car. Seller requests house be inspected or any contractor estimates be completed prior to accepting any offer. Schools: Washington/Nichols/ETHS. Only 6 blocks to BOTH commuter trains and the shops and restaurants of the Main/Chicago corridor. Only 6 blocks to the new Crown community center/library. A rare opportunity in an area of much new construction/renovation/and expansion!
