Great layout in this Mid Century offering. Located across the street from the Ridgeville Community Center and parks! Close proximity to the trains, buses, Metra and SE Evanston shops and of course the lake! Vibrant neighborhood nestled among larger homes! The home IS set back off of Ridge Avenue with a large almost double wide fenced yard (59*173) and ample room to turn around in driveway! Private drive with attached 1 car garage PLUS an additional 2 car garage with parking pad off alley! Keep as is or update with a nod to the COOL mid century vibe. Large room sizes, three full bathrooms- 1 on each level and loads of closets and built ins make this a pleasure to envision all your dreams -they can come true with this gem. The integrity of the home is intact the owners did not want to dismantle it. Great bones and Newer HVAC (APRIL 2020). Upgraded electrical (200AMPS/42 CIRCUITS AND WHOLE-HOUSE SURGE PROTECTION). Underground sprinkler system too!
