Property description
Experience the singular beauty of this landmark Victorian Row House in premier Evanston location. Unique courtyard design brings plenty of natural light with four exposures and a feeling of openness. Oversized front bay window overlooks picturesque Forest Avenue in the heart of Lakeshore Historic District. Spacious rooms and gorgeous vintage architecture. Hardwood floors, butler's pantry, built-in bookcases, lattice windows and Inglenook highlight the home. Four bedrooms on 2nd floor with remodeled baths; one ensuite. Kitchen in good shape but could use updating-bring your imagination. Clean and dry unfinished basement offers untapped room to expand. Plenty of storage including large, unfinished half attic. Fenced backyard on extra deep lot offers PVT, peaceful garden setting with lovely perennials and brick paver patio. 2 car garage. Unbeatable location close to downtown Evanston, Lake Michigan, Dempster St. shops and easy access to the city, Lake Shore Dr. and Metra/El/buses
