About This Home

As of January 2026

Welcome to 1811 Laurel, a classic brick Georgian. This beautifully updated two bedroom, two bathroom home masterfully blends classic architectural charm with modern touches. The open-concept flow welcomes you into the sun-drenched living and dining areas, framed by oversized windows, hardwood floors and serene garden views. Step into the heart of the home- an exquisitely updated kitchen boasting dramatic granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom white cabinetry, a statement faucet with deep farmhouse sink and wine fridge. Whether you're prepping for a quiet night in or hosting a stylish dinner party, this kitchen is equal parts function and showcase. Upstairs, both bedrooms offer generous space, natural light and hardwood floors. The fully updated bathroom provides a spa-like experience with timeless finishes and thoughtful detail. Downstairs, the lower level offers a flexible recreation / media space complete with a gas fireplace & another full bathroom. Laundry and plenty of storage space too! Outdoors, enjoy a fully fenced, beautifully landscaped backyard oasis with mature trees, privacy hedges, and a spacious deck for summer entertaining or morning coffee. Tucked above the garage is a dedicated office or creative studio space -the perfect work-from-home sanctuary. The newer two car garage offers plenty of storage space. The location offers an ease of commute and local amenities. Short driving distance to Central Street Evanston district, downtown Evanston, Robert Crown Community Center & Old Orchard in Skokie. 1811 Laurel offers a rare blend of character, design, and modern livability. Don't miss your opportunity to make it yours.
