Set on a rare and expansive 8,600-square-foot lot in the highly desired Washington School district, this property offers a sprawling 3,245 square feet of living space. The main residence welcomes you with a sun-drenched 24-foot covered front porch and an original solid oak door leading to a classic foyer. Inside, the traditional nine-room layout is rich with character, featuring a stunning original banister, warm wood floors, classic millwork, and a cozy fireplace in the formal living room. The large eat-in kitchen flows into an open flex dining room with bay windows and a built-in china cabinet, providing a perfect setting for both daily life and formal entertaining. Versatility is the defining feature of this home's layout. Designed with incredible flexibility for multi-generational living or an optimized investment strategy, the bedrooms in the main house are thoughtfully arranged for privacy and convenience, making them move-in ready for private room rentals or a shared living arrangement. Perfect as a private in-law suite or a proven income-producer, the coach house features all-tile surfaces and heated floors throughout, providing a pet and allergy-friendly environment that is exceptionally easy to maintain. This independent cottage has a strong track record as both a successful short and mid-term rental, offering incredible flexibility for the next owner. Modernized for total peace of mind, the home boasts all-new electrical systems, newly installed central air and heating, and a full basement for extensive storage and year-round comfort. Located in a prime "urban suburb" setting, this residence is a commuter's dream with easy access to public transportation and the bustling Main Street shopping district. Families will appreciate being within walking distance of Washington Elementary and Nichols Middle School, as well as the recently completed Robert Crown Recreation Center with its lighted tennis courts, ice rinks, and turf fields. Whether you are drawn to the nearby natural beauty of Lake Michigan and Northwestern University or the vibrant energy of downtown Evanston and Chicago, this unique farmhouse offers the space and potential to create your dream lifestyle. Sold as-is, this is an incredible opportunity to own a piece of Evanston history.
