Cook, US
Enjoy the quintessential Evanston lifestyle in this elegant home surrounded by lush greenery and historic architecture--all within blocks of the vibrant Dempster Street business district. Many years of updating, improving and polishing by the long-term owners make for a seamless blend of vintage character and modern livability. The curb appeal begins with the stunning mature landscaping featuring year-round interest and a sprinkler irrigation system (2023) to keep things looking good. Next up is the dreamy wrap-around porch with room to relax, entertain or just say hey to the neighbors passing by. (The porch was rebuilt and restored by the current owners.) On the first floor, a gracious foyer leads to the dining room with leaded glass windows and to the large double parlor living room with updated gas fireplace. (Please note: the size of the chimney and firebox mean that the fireplace cannot be converted to woodburning.) The timeless chef's kitchen was remodeled in 2021 with a cozy window seat, eating area and lovely windows overlooking the backyard. For the practical realities of daily life, there is a pretty mudroom and laundry area. On the second floor are four bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a comfortable den. The primary bedroom has its own bath, as well as an adjoining sunroom/office. On the third floor is yet another bathroom and bedroom, as well as an open space that could work as a play area, game room, office or family room. Out back, a multi-level deck built in 2020 flows into the idyllic, professionally landscaped backyard featuring flowering trees and perennials and bluestone hardscaping. The two-car garage was built in 2015, the house was repainted in 2020. Finally....this location is so good! It's a quiet street but you can walk to the train, the El, the lake, schools, parks, Trader Joe's, Jewel and world class live shows at Space. Also within blocks: two sushi spots, a gelato shop, a coffee house, two pizza places and fun boutiques.
