About This Home

As of November 2024

This wonderful 2 bedroom, 2 bath, plus den unit is beautifully decorated, with many updates. There are sun-filled rooms, hardwood floors, high ceilings and updated kitchen and baths. So many new attractive light fixtures and custom window treatments. It's located in such an outstanding, convenient area-close to Main St. shops, restaurants, Metra, "El," Lincoln School, parks, and 3 blocks from Lake Michigan! The large living room has a decorative fireplace with an adjacent bright sunroom-perfect for enjoying your morning coffee! Host family and friends in the extra-large dining room. The den can easily be converted into a 3rd bedroom or family room. There is a mudroom off the kitchen, which has a new refrigerator. Most impressive is the awesome common area in the back of the building, which has a lovely garden, yard and large patio, a rarity for a vintage bldg. in East Evanston! This unit has the largest storage area in the bldg. Shared laundry in basement. 1 garage space included. Pets allowed, but no rentals. (There is currently no homeowner's exemption). This building is incredibly maintained and has had major projects completed recently (new parapets and fire alarm system). This is a must-see! SHOWINGS START ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 6TH.
