A gracious screened-in front porch invites you into the home's grand foyer, where an artisan-crafted staircase, original hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings immediately impress. Historic charm radiates throughout, from the intricate moldings to the decorative fireplaces and the enchanting turret sitting area in the light-filled living room.

Just off the kitchen, you'll find a custom mudroom with built-in storage, a large laundry room, and powder room. The second floor features a serene primary suite with a fireplace and en-suite bath, as well as three additional spacious bedrooms and a renovated shared bathroom with heated floors. The third floor includes two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a cozy sitting area-perfect for guests, teens, or a creative workspace.The detached coach house adds exceptional value and flexibility with two bedrooms above a two-car garage, offering an abundance of storage and options for guest quarters, rental income, or a private home office. The fenced backyard is a true oasis, featuring a charming patio, mature landscaping, and a bocce court-ideal for entertaining, playing, or relaxing in a tranquil outdoor setting. All of this is located just moments from downtown Evanston's vibrant shops, restaurants, and cafes, as well as Northwestern University, Lake Michigan beaches, parks, and public transportation (CTA & Metra).
