Single Family Home in Evanston, Illinois

A lovely Victorian home that has an inviting front porch that overlooks the front yard garden and city park, which is directly across the street. Once inside you are greeted by beautiful oak moldings and woodwork; the hardwood floors (oak in the main areas and wide pine plank in the bedrooms), tall bay windows, gracious carved staircase in the foyer, pocket door to the family room, a gas log fireplace with a lovely mantle in the living room, and high ceilings everywhere. Find nine spacious rooms with a flowing floor plan on the main floor. The updated kitchen and breakfast room feature abundant oak cabinetry and stainless appliances. Ceramic baths grace the second and third floor with a lovely first floor powder room. All the rooms are spacious including the master bedroom with a large dressing room that could accommodate a master bath. While the basement is unfinished it provides lots of dry storage area. The back yard has fruit trees as well as fruit-bearing blackberry bushes with a garden area near the newly sided two-car garage which has a new garage door and opener. Painters are in the process of painting the exterior. Sellers will give buyers $600 for a home warranty of their choice.
