About This Home

As of August 2024

Attention All Savvy Investors! This building is one of very few truly "investor friendly" buildings in Evanston. There are no rental restrictions and it is a healthy building with low taxes and assessments. A true armchair investment! A great opportunity to own a penthouse condo in Evanston Galleria. This stunning art deco building, converted in 2001, is located in the heart of downtown Evanston. This sun-filled penthouse condo has beautiful oversized windows in each room and features a walk-in pantry and oversized walk-in closet off the living room with a beautiful kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and granite counters, designer Euro style bath, natural maple floors, huge windows and in-unit washer/dryer. The primary bedroom is tucked at the far end of the unit. Both bedrooms are large and can easily accommodate a desk/work/study space and have walk-in closets. Great layout. Parking space included in the price! Great downtown location near shops, restaurants, theaters, NU, transportation and the lake. Current tenants are amazing and have a lease through 7/31/25 that will be honored by the new owner.
