About this home

Welcome home to your private oasis in the ideal central Evanston location. The reimagined open floor plan of this capacious farmhouse with a park-like serene private garden, tiered deck, and creative touches was designed to create a summertime retreat to relax and entertain in. The importance of natural light in every room is highlighted in the design of this home. The 1st-floor features a living room and dining room combo with french doors leading to the private yard, a kitchen with peninsula seating, custom cement countertops, stainless appliances, a breakfast nook, and a walk-in pantry. The powder room and office or fifth bedroom complete the first floor. The 2nd floor features 3 bedrooms, an open family room, and a full bathroom. The tranquil third-floor primary "treetop" suite features an expansive bedroom, a primary bath with a walk-in shower, a walk-in closet, and a private balcony accessed through French doors. The finished basement features a recreation room, laundry room, storage, and utilities. The custom brick patio that stretches the width of the house leads to the 4-car garage. Fantastic location across from Penny Park, and blocks away from Dewey Elementary School, ETHS, Downtown Evanston, Starbucks, grocery, retail, and more.
