Gracious and grand vintage Evanston home. The Kitchen has been completely renovated, but remains in harmony with the original structure. So much of the original character of this home has been carefully maintained or restored, including beautiful...
leaded glass windows that look onto the back porch from the family room space. The master is spacious and and has every modern luxury, and yet in a uniquely vintage setting.
Exceptional and spacious home!
