About This Home
This landmark beauty sits on a lovely property in Evanston's Historic District and has been carefully updated with modern amenities to enjoy today's lifestyle. Original enhancements were done in 1900, by Ernest Mayo. The next few owners have continued to improve an already fabulous home. The front porch and swing welcome you to 1138 Judson. Enter through the vestibule into the foyer, featuring a 3 story staircase and soaring ceilings. From this main artery you can proceed to the living, dining, or family room and on to the kitchen. Both entertaining and stylish everyday living is made better with an opened wall to make the family and dining room airy and useful while still maintaining the integrity of turn of the century style. Additional overhead lighting brings life & light to these stately rooms. The vast formal living room is enhanced by a circular sun-room. The functioning pocket doors, leaded glass windows, fireplaces and wood floors with much original millwork, are throughout this delightful home. The updated and timeless Kitchen won a preservation award and the butler pantry was enhanced to match the kitchen in 2017. Not only adding more storage but adding an attractive bar or buffet. The bright chef's kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, 6 burner Wolf stove with two ovens and a commercial hood. Dual Fisher Paykel dishwashers and two stacked GE Monogram chiller drawers just add to the high end level of the kitchen. The large island is central to the kitchen but there is also spacious table room with plenty of seating for family and friends. This is the heart of the home. Front and back stairs usher you up to the two stories of bedrooms. The primary bedroom is adorned with a fireplace and new luxurious bath. Enjoy the Quartz double bowl sink, steam shower with multiple heads and radiant heated floor, finished in 2019. There are 3 other bedrooms on this second floor. One enjoys the privacy of its own bathroom while the other two share a hall bath. A common space includes a library/sitting/play area. The laundry is also located on the second floor. Access the third floor from both front and back stairs presenting two more bedrooms, sitting room and bathroom as well as a huge walk in closet. The views from up there are quite impressive and the touch of leaded glass charming. From here, descend all the way down past the kitchen on the back stairs to the partially updated walkout basement. There is a 2nd laundry room, sans the washer and dryer. Cubbies and much storage as well as a second refrigerator. The mechanical workings of the home are located in the older basement. The foundation, history and strength of this home offers so much. The basement adds potential for additional living space; your imagination will bring this space to life with room for work out, games ,or a wine cellar Enjoy the view from the many windows in the kitchen of the lush backyard. The porch flows to the deck and bluestone patio with professional landscaping and mature greenery all around. A much sought after 3 car detached garage just finishes the package and yet there's more. Three blocks to the Lake and convenient to both Dempster and Main street trains, shopping and restaurants. Location, Location, Location!
