About This Home
As of July 2025Gracious living in this huge vintage historic duplex condo in excellent east Evanston location! The first floor welcomes you in with a lovely foyer, the center of the home. Fantastic layout affords privacy when wanted, and great entertaining spaces; a truly flexible floor plan. Generous living room with two exposures for lots of light, fireplace (has not been used by owners), leaded windows; sun room off the living room currently serves as a pretty office. Separate dining room with plenty of room for parties; giant kitchen with butler's pantry, eat in area, laundry, island, and newer refrigerator. There are four bedrooms on the first floor! The primary is en suite, with a lovely bathroom; the second bathroom is also en suite with a new bathroom. The third bedroom is off the dining room and currently used as an office. Three full bathrooms, all on the main level. The lower level is only halfway below grade, and has both an interior staircase AND one from the front entryway, so guests do not have to enter through the main home. Big family room with fireplace and exposed brick, large exercise area, and humongous interior storage where you can easily store your canoe and ALL your stuff! Exterior storage closet also comes with the unit, as does parking right next to the back door for one car ( $20/month). The association shares extra spots, so if you want to park a second car, you may do so for two thirds of the year. Very well run association with healthy reserves. Pet friendly. No rentals.
