About This Home

Discover the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern convenience in this beautiful sunlit corner co-op, located just two blocks from Northwestern University and the scenic lakefront. Less than a block away, you'll find the Red and Purple CTA lines, six restaurants, a full-service grocery store, coffee shops, and other everyday conveniences. A short ten-minute walk leads to downtown Evanston, where you can enjoy Target, CVS, Lou Malnati's Pizza, the Metra, RTA buses, and express service to O'Hare Airport-all within easy reach. This inviting studio is filled with natural light from north- and west-facing windows, enhanced by custom wooden blinds and cross ventilation. Classic details include nine-foot ceilings, crown moldings, wall sconces, and pocket doors leading to a California-style closet. Recent upgrades include a new vanity in the bathroom, a new ceiling fan, and an air conditioning unit under warranty. The eat-in dining area can be separated by folding doors from the main living space, while the kitchen offers granite countertops, oak-faced cabinets, and new waterproof flooring. Brand-new appliances, including a refrigerator and stove still under warranty, complete the modern updates. Rookwood Gardens is a well-managed, historic building offering individual storage closets, a secure bike room, and a free laundry room for residents. Outdoor amenities include a beautifully landscaped private garden perfect for relaxing or reading, as well as a refreshed side garden that enhances the building's classic curb appeal. Both cats and dogs are welcome, making this a truly special place to call home.
