About This Home
Pristine 2-bedroom/2 bathroom plus den condominium in the heart of downtown Evanston, offered by near-original owners. A rare and expansive private terrace opens directly off the living room, extending the home's living and entertaining space outdoors - a feature seldom found in condominium living. The living space features engineered hardwood flooring and a versatile den, perfect as a home office, media room, or guest space, plus a separate utility closet and coat closet. The kitchen retains its original, well-maintained cabinetry and stainless-steel appliances, upgraded with a 2019 induction cooktop. Separate dining area off the kitchen. The hall bathroom serves the living area and second bedroom with a tub/shower combination and ceramic tile floor and surround. The primary suite offers an en-suite bathroom with vanity and shower, and tile floor and surround - a true private retreat from the main living area. This full-amenity building includes a doorman, swimming pool, exercise room, party room, and an outdoor patio with communal grills. Steps from the Metra and the 'L', the location offers unmatched walkability to downtown Evanston shopping and dining, Northwestern University, and the Lake Michigan shoreline.
