Classic Victorian charm meets thoughtful space and updates on one of Evanston's most loved, walkable streets. Set on picturesque Park Place with its wide parkways and welcoming neighborhood feel, this painted Victorian offers the best of old and new-original architectural details paired with significant additions, modern systems, and a meticulous maintenance history. A fully rebuilt front porch leads into a gracious foyer showcasing the original Victorian staircase, setting the tone for the home's timeless character. The main level features elegant vintage details, hardwood floors, and high ceilings. A formal living opens to the dining room, which has a lovely bay window with a window seat. The first-floor bedroom-currently used as an office-adds flexibility. The 1996-97 addition expanded the heart of the home with a generous kitchen, family room, and breakfast area. The kitchen includes 42" cabinetry, a large island with Corian countertops, custom tile backsplash, double ovens, five-burner gas cooktop, and a separate bar sink. The adjoining family room offers a wood-burning fireplace and bay window overlooking the backyard, while sliding doors from the breakfast area open to a screened porch. A full bath with shower completes the first floor. Upstairs, hardwood floors continue throughout four bedrooms, including a private primary suite with backyard views, walk-in closet, and en-suite bath. All closets are professionally organized, and the floor is served by a full hall bath with double vanity, tub/shower, and excellent linen storage. The basement was substantially improved during the addition, featuring a finished family room, laundry, storage, and mechanical spaces, plus an under-addition area with very high ceilings offering future finishing potential. Waterproofing with Everlast walls and a double sump pump system with battery backup provides peace of mind. The fenced backyard includes a screened porch, deck, and a 21/2-car garage. Major improvements include new electrical, plumbing including water line to the street, rebuilt porches, roof replacement, updated HVAC with zoned systems, waterproofing, newer appliances, and a brand-new hot water heater. All of this is just steps from Central Street shops and dining, Metra trains, Willard School, Downtown Wilmette, and more-an exceptional opportunity on a truly special street.
