Rare opportunity to make this stately and sun-filled one bedroom condominium at the Waterford East in downtown Evanston your home. Perched on the 4th floor of this elevator building with south and west exposures, the home is bathed in light for most of the day. From the moment you enter the building and pass through the scissor gate elevator door, you will be transported to old world elegance. Once inside you will find picture frame and crown moulding over hardwood flooring throughout with a wood burning fireplace at the center of the grand living and dining area. A large south facing bedroom with ample closets provides access to the bathroom and an efficiently designed kitchen is found at the end of the long and wide hallway that traverses the entirety of the home. As the old proverb goes, location, location, location! Situated on historic Hinman Avenue, literally steps from downtown Evanston's epicenter of shopping, entertainment and transportation (Metra, El) to the west and the shores of Lake Michigan and Northwestern University to the south and east, one could not ask for a better launching pad to all that Evanston offers. The professionally managed building is pet friendly, with a common laundry area on the ground floor and a beautifully maintained secret garden in the rear of the building for the private enjoyment of its residents. Properties seldom change hands at this highly desirable address for many of the reasons described above!
