Welcome to 1633 Hinman, Unit 1, a spacious 1st-floor, 4-bedroom, 2-bath condo offering a rare blend of history, charm, and convenient location. Built in 1909 and once celebrated as one of the finest apartment buildings in the state outside Chicago, this beautifully maintained residence sits on a quiet, tree-lined street just steps to downtown Evanston, Northwestern University, and the lakefront. Upon entering, the welcoming foyer includes the original built-in, full-length mirror and leads into an expansive living room anchored by a decorative fireplace and built-in bookcases. The unit features 9.5-foot ceilings, original wood moldings, hardwood floors, and beautifully maintained doors throughout, showcasing the building's architectural pedigree. Through French doors off the living room, a bright, west-facing sunroom offers the perfect home office or sunlit retreat. The formal dining room retains its original wood-beamed ceiling and built-in cabinetry, echoing the building's storied baronial-oak interiors. The open kitchen offers excellent expansion potential plus generous storage via the connected original butler's pantry. Four bedrooms, including one en-suite, provide room for everyone, and a large rear porch is ideal for morning coffee or quiet evening relaxation. The unit also includes in-unit laundry, a huge additional basement storage room, and one exterior parking space. Unbeatable location: steps to coffeehouses, Whole Foods, restaurants, the Evanston Library, Clark Street Beach, the lakefront, parks, buses, and the Davis Street Metra/CTA stations. Enjoy year-round cultural events including arts fairs, Fourth of July celebrations, and lakefront festivals.
