About This Home

As of June 2021

Picture what this condo could be once you've updated it to match your personal preferences! To be clear, this is a 2 cats per unit building, no dogs. So long as you're OK with that - let your imagination run wild! When it's cold outside you enjoy the gas fireplace, and you're delighted that the elevator takes you down to your cozy garage parking space. No running through the rain to your car, no scraping off ice or getting into a hot car that's been sitting in the sun. On warm days you sit on your private balcony, perhaps you grill your dinner and enjoy the evening breeze. If it's HOT, you stay in, turn on the central air, maybe watch a movie. Laundry is in the 2nd bathroom - no sharing, no hauling clothes, no one moving your stuff when you forget to change the loads! Use your imagination - what will you do when you renovate? Will you open up the kitchen, add an island, granite, and high end appliances? Or will you just update the appliances and leave the kitchen separated from the living space? Will you replace the carpet with hardwood? Or just instead install new, plush carpet that's squishy beneath your bare feet? The bathrooms provide more options for your creativity. Perhaps a steam shower? A jetted tub? Maybe a bathroom mirror with an integrated TV or Alexa? Or both? Priced to sell as-is and ready to become whatever you imagine it to be, this prime location in the Dewey and Nichols school districts and just on the edge of downtown Evanston can be your dream home! Vacant and ready to go, schedule your showing today! Did I mention that Bennison's Bakery is just 3 blocks away?
