919 Ridge Ct, Evanston, IL 60202

A golden opportunity on one of Evanston's coolest streets. .. the quiet two-block long Ridge Court. This 1887 brick Victorian home sits on an absolute magnificent property. The newly fenced lot is huge - approximately 50x189x50x199 (9880 Sq Ft zoned R1) and has a paved alley. Currently a 1600 SF 3 bedroom home with a family room and wood burning fireplace. All 3 floors would offer 2500 square feet of living space. There is so much potential here as the basement offers an opportunity to renovate the living space that used to be an apartment.
