About this home

Enjoy the comparable space of a single-family home with the convenience of an elevator building in this expansive 1,800 sq. ft. condo, corner unit. The thoughtfully designed, flexible floor plan easily adapts to a variety of lifestyles. Light, wide-plank engineered hardwood floors create a modern, cohesive feel throughout the main living areas. The spacious living room offers distinct zones for relaxing, entertaining, or working from home, and opens directly to a large private balcony-providing neighborhood views while enjoying outdoor seating or container gardening. The centrally located dining room flows seamlessly into both the kitchen and living room space, creating an ideal layout for everyday living and gatherings. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, a pass-through window to the living room, and has room for a breakfast table or an island. Enjoy a primary suite that serves as a comfortable retreat with a small seating area, a walk-in closet and a fully renovated bathroom, down to the studs. Bathroom now features new: tub and toilet, tiled walls and floors, can lights in ceiling and shower, double vanity sink (previously only one sink), and mirrors. Two additional bedrooms share a hall bath; one is currently used as a home office. Notable updates since 2018 include engineered hardwood floors through main living areas, bedroom carpeting, lighting fixtures and canned lights, appliances, electrical improvements, and a new furnace and humidifier (2022). Additional amenities include a first-floor laundry room, parking space, and storage. Ideally located with easy access to downtown Evanston and Northwestern University, as well as nearby transit (CTA and Metra), parks, beaches, schools, shopping, and dining.
