About This Home
As of August 2025Step into timeless elegance with this beautifully maintained 1-bedroom, 1-bath condo in a picturesque courtyard building. Featuring rich vintage details, this home offers a warm, inviting atmosphere with hardwood floors, high ceilings, and crown molding. The spacious living room is filled with natural light and offers incredible versatility - it's large enough to be converted into a second bedroom, home office, or guest space, making it perfect for a variety of living arrangements. The roomy formal dining area flows seamlessly into the galley kitchen complete with wood cabinetry, updated countertops, refrigerator, gas range, microwave, and dishwasher. Looking for additional convenience? Ditch the walk to the basement - the association allows owners to install in-unit laundry, making the weekly wash a breeze! Gracious closet space throughout the unit provides ample storage, including two hallway closets and generous bedroom storage. Investor-friendly with a twist-rentals are allowed after two consecutive years of owner occupancy, making this a smart long-term investment or a perfect first home. Located close to public transit, local shops, cafes, Evanston's beautiful public beaches and parks, this home is a rare blend of charm, space, and flexibility in a classic Chicago-style courtyard setting.
