Cook, US
Welcome home to this impeccably updated center-entrance Colonial in Evanston's highly sought-after McCulloch Park neighborhood, rezoned to award-winning Orrington Elementary in 2026-2027. This bright, spacious 4-bedroom (5-flex), 4-bath home with a finished basement and attached garage has been completely remodeled since 2021 with high-end finishes, modern conveniences, and timeless style-making it truly move-in ready. The heart of the home is the stunning, gut-remodeled kitchen flowing out onto the newly built deck and pergola for truly al fresco dining . Quarter-sawn oak custom cabinetry is both stylish and functional, providing abundant storage further complemented by a custom built-in pantry. A massive 10-foot island with ample seating serves as the perfect hub for cooking, homework, or casual meals. Top-tier Fisher & Paykel appliances include a double oven, an XL gas range with powerful vented hood, and integrated refrigeration. Quartz counters, a large eating bar create an inviting, chef-inspired gathering spot. Refinished hardwood floors, new light fixtures, custom window treatments, and custom radiator covers throughout also add warmth and elegance. The living room features a wood-burning fireplace (recently painted for a crisp, modern look) and flows naturally into the southern-facing sunroom, perfect for morning coffee or quiet reading. A separate dining room with generous natural light is ideal for holiday gatherings or dinner parties. A remodeled powder room and new tile in the mudroom (with direct garage access) complete the first floor. Upstairs, the abundantly spacious primary bedroom suite-part of a 2-story addition-offers a walk-in closet with brand-new custom closet systems, plus a beautifully remodeled primary bath featuring a soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity. A connected private office with vaulted ceilings provides a serene workspace or private hide-out for reading and relaxing. Three additional generous bedrooms, additional office and a fully gut-remodeled guest bath with premium finishes round out the second floor. The completely finished basement is a standout: brand-new full bathroom with adjoining flex - 5th bedroom / TV-room, new stairs, updated copper plumbing, and additional flexible space perfect for a playroom, home office, gym, or workshop. A new washer/dryer set makes laundry effortless. For added peace of mind, major mechanical and structural upgrades include a new roof, new condenser unit, new boiler, reverse-osmosis filtration, and security system. Outside, the home shines with fresh curb appeal: full exterior painting, a brand-new front door, updated porch steps and railing, and professional landscaping with auto-drip irrigation lines. Enjoy a fenced yard for pets or play, and the convenience of the attached 2-car garage. New gutters and thoughtful exterior details ensure low maintenance for years to come. Just one block from McCulloch Park, this location is unbeatable-minutes from Central Street shops, restaurants, the Evanston Art Center, Metra and CTA trains, The All-New Ryan Field, and Northwestern's campus. Lighthouse Beach is an easy six-block stroll down Central Street. Re-zoned to Award winning Orrington Elementary School District beginning in 2026-2027. Life feels effortless in this vibrant, walkable neighborhood filled with friendly neighbors and year-round community events. This is more than a house-it's a turnkey lifestyle in one of Evanston's most desirable pockets, ready for its next chapter of family fun and memory-making!
