Set on a generous lot and a half, this Evanston home offers a rare combination of architectural presence, thoughtful scale, and everyday livability. The layout is open and intuitive, with a natural flow that works equally as well for entertaining as it does for daily life. Original architectural details have been beautifully preserved and anchor the home throughout; as elegant central staircase soaring ceilings, expansive arched windows, detailed millwork and a striking limestone fireplace just to name a few. Designed with both function and style in mind, the recently updated kitchen offers ample room for cooking and hosting. It is filled with natural light and overlooks the gardens and patio, making it a natural gathering place in the home. The primary suite is spacious and includes a private study that connects to a mahogany sundeck with southern exposure. The primary bath is equally impressive, featuring spa-level finishes and a well-appointed dressing area. Additional bedrooms are generously sized with excellent light and closet space. The home's lower level is fully finished and provides flexible living space ideal for recreation and entertaining. Outdoors, the professionally landscaped grounds are as thoughtful as the interior. Formal gardens, architectural walkways, a bluestone patio, and large green space create a setting that feels both refined and usable and are complete with an irrigation system to easily maintain your idyllic outdoor experience. The property includes a private driveway off Sheridan Road, a much sought after and rare feature. With close proximity to shops, dining, transportation, and an easy walk to Lake Michigan and Lee Street Beach, this is a special Evanston property offering timeless design in an exceptional location.
