Discover the charm and elegance of this stunning Victorian home, ideally situated on a lush corner lot in the heart of Evanston. The inviting wrap-around front porch sets the stage for this sun-drenched, three-story gem, owned by two visionary architects inspired by Helmut Jahn. You'll find thoughtful design and impeccable finishes at every turn. The first floor features a versatile layout, including a double parlor living room with bay windows and a fireplace. Pocket doors open to the dining room, complete with a charming butler's pantry, offering a seamless flow for entertaining. The ultra-modern Modulnova kitchen is a delight for cooking and entertaining, featuring a large island, quartz countertops, and a breakfast area. All appliances are Miele, including a convection oven, magnetic induction cooktop and hood, microwave, and a no-touch faucet. The large family room is lined with bookshelves. The second floor offers four bedrooms, a sitting room, an office, two full baths, and a large laundry room. The third floor is an oasis with dramatic vaulted ceilings and an abundance of light. It includes the spacious primary suite with a sitting room and reading area, a spa-like bath, an office with a cozy window seat, a kitchenette equipped with a beverage refrigerator, sink, dishwasher, and microwave, and a separate workout room overlooking the backyard. There is a full unfinished basement with loads of potential. The outdoor area has a private brick patio and garden, a grassy yard, and a 2 1/2 car garage with an electric car charging station. Newer roof, windows, exterior paint, 220 amp electric, 2-zone HVAC's, sump pump, water heater, and so much more-a short walk to Washington and Nichols schools, Main & Dempster Street shopping districts, and the Crown CC. Do not miss this opportunity!
