About This Home

As of May 2026

OFFER ACCEPTED! On the market for the first time in over 30 years, 811 Roslyn Terrace is an exceptional offering in one of Evanston's most coveted northern lakefront neighborhoods. Set on a private one-third acre lot on a quiet cul-de-sac street, this gracious six-bedroom, four-bath residence offers close to 4300 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, marked by pride of ownership and substantial additions and improvements completed over time. The main level features over 2700 square feet of light-filled living and entertaining spaces. A gracious living room with marble fireplace and custom built-ins is complemented by a dramatic family room with a soaring ceiling inspired by the Baha'i Temple dome and a curved wall of windows overlooking the lush backyard. The eat-in kitchen flows seamlessly into the living, family, and dining rooms, a generous mudroom/pantry, and connects to a heated attached 2.5-car garage, creating everyday ease and functionality. The main level also showcases a serene primary bedroom suite featuring a vaulted ceiling, extensive custom closets and cabinetry, and a luxurious bathroom with limestone tile, radiant heated floors, dual vanities, soaking tub, and separate water closet. Two additional bedrooms with walk-in closets, a second full bath with heated floors, and a dedicated laundry room complete this first-floor bedroom wing, providing flexibility for family living, guests, and/or office space. Upstairs, a bright and versatile recreation room anchors the second level and opens to three additional bedrooms and two full baths, including a private bedroom/bathroom suite with a walk-in closet and two spacious attics for storage, ideal for guests, multi-generational living, or a live-in caregiver. A finished partial basement adds abundant storage, a second laundry room, and updated mechanicals. Outdoors, the professionally landscaped grounds include a fully fenced yard, new brick paver patio and retaining walls, sport court, in-ground sprinkler system, and mature arborvitae on three sides for year-round privacy. Additional significant features and updates include hardwood floors throughout, whole house generator, new electrical service, updated HVAC and heat pump, newer windows, a newer roof, keyless entry systems, and more. Ideally located just one-half block from Lake Michigan, this beautiful home is a short walk to Lighthouse and Gilson Beaches, Northwestern University, top-ranked Orrington School, parks, an 18-hole golf course, CTA Purple Line stations, and Evanston Hospital. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a beautifully cared-for home in a premier Evanston setting. Set up your showing today!
