Set on one of northwest Evanston's prettiest tree-lined streets, this four-bedroom home has the open layout that buyers have been looking for. Hardwood floors, crown molding, a wood-burning fireplace, and newer picture windows give the main living spaces genuine warmth. The renovated kitchen - with painted cabinetry to the ceiling, a pantry, five-burner range, French door refrigerator, and hardwood floors - is as functional as it is handsome. A rare attached garage attached garage opens into hall leading to the kitchen. A vaulted family room addition spills out to a room-sized deck with built-in seating and a yard with room to play. Upstairs, the primary suite over the garage fits a king-size bed comfortably, with a walk-in closet and private bathroom. Three additional bedrooms share a hall bathroom. The full basement rounds out the home with a recreation room, laundry room, and utility room. Fabulous location-walk to Central Street shops, restaurants, and Metra; close to Lake Michigan and Northwestern University.
