About This Home

First time on the market in 50+ years, this 2 flat offers tremendous opportunity with the option of converting to a single family property or maintain as a 2 flat with separately metered gas and electric. The first and second floor have 2 bedrooms and one bath each, with the second floor duplexed up to include two additional bedrooms and a large open room optimal for expansion. Unfinished basement with laundry and storage. Side yard and 1 car garage (no electric opener - used for storage currently). Newer siding, roof, 2 water heaters and one boiler in approx the last 10-15 years. Located in the West Village area of Evanston, a unique arts and wellness enclave of small artisanal shops, artist studios, and galleries - this property has great opportunity for an investor or end user looking to update/renovate.
