About This Home

As of July 2025

Welcome to Timeless Charm & Endless Potential in the Heart of Evanston! Tucked away on a picturesque, tree-lined street in one of Evanston's most sought-after neighborhoods, this distinctive brick Georgian stands out from the crowd with its vintage charm and unique personality, far from the cookie-cutter homes you'll find nearby. Whether you're looking to move in and enjoy the home as-is or unleash its full potential with updates, finishing touches, or upgrades inside and out. Step inside and be greeted by sun-drenched spaces, large windows, and soaring ceilings that create a warm, open feel throughout the main level. Hardwood floors flow through the expansive living and dining areas, while the sizable, open-concept floor plan is perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. The family room is bright and inviting and opens directly to the backyard, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. The kitchen features a breakfast bar and overlooks the family space, offering a functional layout ready for your personal touch. Upstairs, you'll find more vintage charm. Featuring three bedrooms and a full bath. The spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and charming double French doors that lead to a rare and expansive, second-floor rooftop, just waiting to be transformed into a stunning outdoor lounge or garden retreat. With a roughed-in full bathroom in the basement, there's excellent potential to add value and square footage. The large, fully fenced backyard is a hidden gem, enhanced by brand-new Japanese maples and offering ample space for gardening, play, or entertaining. The attached garage is a truly rare find. It adds everyday convenience, while generous storage throughout the home, and including a large utility room, makes organization a breeze. Downstairs, the partially finished basement includes a recreation room, ideal for a playroom, home office, or fitness area. A tucked-away half bath on the main level adds extra functionality without sacrificing style. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly unique and character-filled property in a prime location. Minutes from top-rated schools, beloved local shops and restaurants, public transit, the lakefront, James Park, and the Robert Crown Center. This is where vintage charm meets modern lifestyle. Don't miss your chance to create your dream home in the heart of Evanston!
