About This Home

As of August 2021

Practically Perfect in Every Way! You've found it! a condo the size of a single family ranch home but with staff to take care of the yard and common areas. NO ELEVATOR NECESSARY. All on one level - no stairs - handicap accessible. The location and community truly can't be beat. Evanston is a great place to live, and this is a great place to live in Evanston! Let's start with LOCATION! Convenient to the purple line, 2 Metra stops to choose from, and PACE buses run on Dempster and Chicago Ave. Walk 2 blocks for dinner and a show at Union/Space, for Thai, Gelato, Sushi, Pizza, Vegetarian, and more! Choose from TJs and Jewel Osco for your groceries. And there's a convenient new Binny's right across the street! A quick 5 block walk to the east gets to you Lake Michigan's swimming and sailing beaches. 5 blocks north or south and you're in downtown Evanston, or the Main/Dempster mile for dining, entertainment, shopping, community festivals and events. Then, the condominium itself. The ranch-house-style layout of the condo provides privacy for all, but not too much separation that you lose track of each other. You'll find the master suite and home office on one end of the home, kitchen with island open to the family room and sliding door to the common yard, dining room and living room and a half-bath in the middle, then 3 good-sized bedrooms with the 2nd full bath, full-size laundry, and spacious storage closet at the other end. There are brand new Fedder's wall AC in every room for maximum flexibility and comfort. Recessed LED lighting is clean, bright, and will outlast us all. You will LOVE the premium wood-look vinyl flooring for ease of clean up - great for families and pets, easy to mop up spills, and you don't have to worry about ruining a wood floor. This home is designed to be lived in and enjoyed with maximum ease and comfort! Children will attend award-winning Evanston schools: Washington Elementary, a TWI school located next to brand new Robert Crown Community Center. Nichols Middle School is just 2 blocks south on Elmwood. Teens will love Evanston Township HS where any class you can think of is offered either at the school or through partnerships with Northwestern University and Oakton Community College. The building features a separate bike room and spacious secure storage room, also on the ground floor. The home is vacant, staged, and easy to show any time. Extra deep Garage Parking included too! SELLER FINANCING MAY BE AVAILABLE TO QUALIFIED BUYERS.
