01About this home

Step into a true original in the heart of Evanston-a striking Queen Anne home that celebrates bold design, rich character, and thoughtful modern updates. This is anything but cookie-cutter; it's a home that makes a statement the moment you arrive. The fully renovated first floor seamlessly blends historic charm with today's lifestyle, featuring a brand-new kitchen, stylish powder room, new hardwood floors, and updated electrical and plumbing throughout. Enjoy a classic double parlor living room and dining room-perfect for entertaining or relaxing-along with an additional family room that offers flexible living space. A thoughtfully designed mudroom/pantry addition enhances everyday living with first-floor laundry and even a dedicated dog shower. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a refreshed retreat with an updated bath, joined by two additional bedrooms and a second full hall bathroom. A unique architectural feature allows the hallway to open to the kitchen below, bringing in natural light and creating a rare visual connection between levels. The attic provides excellent storage today with exciting potential for future expansion. Outside, enjoy beautifully landscaped grounds with a tranquil Zen garden, creating a peaceful escape right at home, along with the added convenience of a 2.5-car garage. All of this in a prime Evanston location-close to the Metra and "L," the lakefront, award-winning schools, parks, and the best of both Downtown Evanston and the vibrant Main-Dempster Mile. A rare blend of architectural significance and modern comfort, this home preserves its original charm while delivering the updates today's buyers crave.
