Opportunity knocks again for experienced rehabbers! Great potential in this early Evanston farmhouse located in the vibrant Evanston Arts District, and just one block from both Washington School and the new Robert Crown Community Center! Original pine plank floors on the first level with several rooms to be redesigned to create a more open floor plan. Currently there is a living room, kitchen/dining area, bedroom, study and full bath on the first level. Second level features an open family room space with new hardwood floor, full bath, second bedroom, and primary bedroom featuring a vaulted ceiling and tandem study/nursery/walk in closet. The attic space has been finished into a loft office with open walls to the primary bedroom. The basement has storage, one finished room and utility space. Newer double hung vinyl windows (except the front picture window), new roof (2020), and new stair carpeting. Deep yard for gardening, play and future garage. This is an estate sale so the sale is AS IS. Back on the market due to buyers' inability to get financing - unrelated to the house itself.
