About This Home
Situated on the 10th floor of one of Evanston's most sought-after modern high-rises, this spacious 2-bedroom, 2-bath corner unit offers sweeping southern, western, and eastern exposures-providing natural light all day, gorgeous city views in the evening, and even peek-a-boo views of Lake Michigan from the private balcony and primary suite. The open-concept living and dining area is wrapped in floor-to-ceiling windows, creating a bright, airy atmosphere ideal for entertaining or relaxing with panoramic city views. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, and an oversized island with seating and storage. The primary suite is a serene retreat with incredible light, Lake views, and a beautifully renovated bath boasting dual vessel sinks, a large walk-in shower, and ample storage. A second bedroom functions beautifully as a home office or guest space, conveniently located near the full second bath. Additional features include in-unit laundry, hardwood floors, generous closet space, and two deeded parking places - a true luxury in downtown Evanston. The building offers an indoor pool, a common outdoor patio, and an exercise room, plus a prime location in the vibrant core of downtown Evanston-just blocks from Northwestern University, the lakefront, Metra/CTA, restaurants, and shops.
