This beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath South Evanston brick home will draw you in with its character, features, and living space. From the light-filled living room with a working marble fireplace, built-in bookcases, and stained-glass accent windows to the separate dining room, the first floor is designed for daily living and entertaining. The open kitchen with a large island and abundant shaker cabinets creates the perfect space for cooking, pantry storage, and gathering. The adjoining family room leads to the deck. A 4th bedroom/office and half bath complete the first floor. The second story seamlessly maintains the charm with 3 beds, 2 generous baths, and a sitting room/playroom area which could easily be turned into a 4th upstairs bedroom. The primary bedroom features 2 walk-in closets and a Juliet balcony overlooking the backyard. The ensuite has a large shower and separate tub. The front bedroom and sitting room are accented by arched alcoves and cove ceilings. The finished basement offers even more living space that includes a wine cellar, separate studio/workshop, full bath, and multiple storage areas. Out back, entertaining is a breeze with a roomy deck featuring an electric awning and garage that opens to the yard. The dynamic location is a short distance to both the Metra and El, nearby parks, public and private schools, and the Main/Dempster Mile business district. A truly special place to call home!
