Beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath Evanston home plus a fully detached studio (office) in your backyard. The front door opens to a light-filled open living area featuring a living room with vaulted ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace that all flow seamlessly into the dining room. The adjacent updated kitchen features an oversized island with a breakfast bar, all stainless steel appliances, and abundant cabinet and counter space. Three spacious bedrooms are on the second level and share the full hall bathroom with a dual vanity and professionally reglazed bathtub. The lower walkout level features a vintage paneled family room that is spacious and a nod to the original Mid Century Modern design with built-in book shelves. Tucked away on this level is a spacious laundry room with a GE Profile washer/dryer combo and a second full bathroom with a walk-in shower. Outside, the professionally designed backyard by Nature's Perspective is a true retreat. Thoughtfully landscaped with Pennsylvania sedge and native grasses, it offers exceptional beauty with minimal maintenance. A completely fenced in cedar privacy fence, bluestone walkway, and drainage improvements (2022) complete the inviting outdoor space. The detached studio is complete with a new mini-split system, making it ideal for a home office, art studio or guest retreat. Extensively improved over the years with major updates including Hardie Board siding, oversized gutters, a new front door and wall of sliders (2021), a replacement roof for the detached studio roof, and the chimney was rebuilt above the roofline. Ideally located just minutes from downtown Wilmette, the shops and restaurants along Central Street, and both the Wilmette and Central Street Metra stations. Easy access to Northwestern University (including the new stadium), downtown Evanston and multiple CTA lines. Enjoy the legacy of an Irwin Bleitz Mid Century Modern Hillside home in a convenient and quiet neighborhood location. This is the perfect place to start your next chapter.
