About this home
Historic charm meets smart, thoughtful updates in this light-filled home east of Ridge, directly across from Firefighter's Park. Enjoy exceptional walkability to the CTA, Metra, Northwestern University, downtown Evanston, and the lakefront. Major improvements include a new roof and main drain pipe in 2020, chimney work in 2023, dishwasher and luxury range with convection, air-fry, and sous-vide functions in 2024, refrigerator in 2025, and a central heat-pump system with air conditioning in 2026. Additional features include updated electrical systems, newer lighting, and home-automation and network wiring. Soaring 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors throughout, original moldings, and lovingly preserved natural wood trim showcase the home's architectural character. The main level offers spacious living and dining rooms, two flexible bedrooms, and a full bath. Upstairs, refinished hardwood floors and skylights brighten the expansive primary suite, beautifully updated slate bath with RH fixtures, large tandem room, and flexible den-ideal for an office, nursery, dressing room, or creative space. A screened porch overlooks the quiet, private backyard, creating a peaceful retreat in the heart of the city. The basement with exterior access provides laundry, workshop, and substantial storage space. A rare opportunity to enjoy authentic architectural character, modern comfort, and exceptional walkability in one of Evanston's most desirable locations.
