Welcome to this enchanting Victorian gem nestled in the heart of NE Evanston-where historic charm meets contemporary comfort! Just moments from the vibrant downtown and the beach, this meticulously updated home offers the best of both worlds: the elegance of a bygone era and the convenience of modern living. From the moment you arrive, the home's classic facade, complete with intricate trim and a welcoming front porch, evokes the timeless beauty of 19th-century architecture. Inside, soaring 9.5 foot ceilings, original hardwood floors, and handsome moldings speak to the home's rich heritage, while a thoughtful kitchen renovation has seamlessly woven in today's most desired amenities. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece- reconfigured to create a more efficient use of space, it features custom cabinetry, honed quartzite countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances. It flows effortlessly via a convenient butler's pantry with beverage fridge and display cabinets into a sunlit dining area. The cozy living room is anchored by the original fireplace as its centerpiece, and can accommodate 2 seating areas, creating flexible layout options. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a peaceful retreat, complete with a spa-like bathroom featuring heated floors, 2 vanities, and a spacious shower. Additional bedrooms on the 2nd and 3rd floors boast historic character and charm, ideal for family, guests, or a home office (or two). The recently finished basement is a fun place to hang with its game table area and rec room, and a home gym makes working out easily accessible. Outside, enjoy morning coffee or evening wine on your back deck, host parties in the landscaped backyard, or take a short stroll to nearby parks, boutiques, restaurants, and Evanston's picturesque lakefront. The 2.5 car garage affords abundant storage in its loft area, a huge perk! Discover the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern luxury, all in one of Evanston's most coveted neighborhoods.
