Prairie-style 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom farmhouse on a quiet treelined street in NW Evanston. This well-proportioned vintage home welcomes you with a large screened front porch. The central foyer leads naturally into a living room anchored by a gas fireplace with built-in bookshelves, original crown molding, picture rail detail, and hardwood floors. The formal dining room has a bay window and a door opening to the sun porch. Maple hardwood flooring, a gas range, a large pantry, and a breakfast bar overlooking the backyard complete the kitchen; the cabinet mix of vintage wood uppers and newer white base cabinets gives the space a layered, charming character. All three upstairs bedrooms offer generously scaled closets that approach walk-in depth. The shared hall bath is large and functional, with a tub/shower and tile surround. The unfinished basement includes a full bath with tub/shower, a laundry room, and an exceptionally well-organized workshop refreshed within the last 18 months. There is a lovely backyard and a 2-car garage off the alley. Mechanical highlights include a 2023 water heater, hot-water radiator heat for consistent whole-house comfort, and Space-Pak central air conditioning. Fabulous location: Walk to Central Street's shops, restaurants, parks and Metra. Three blocks to Willard Elementary school! Close to Northwestern University and Lake Michigan.
