Property Description
This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath brick home in Evanston has the kind of character you can't fake, paired with the opportunity to make it truly your own. Come inside and you're greeted by a combined living and dining space that is an easy open layout that is perfect for everyday living. The quaint kitchen holds the promise of cozy mornings that's just waiting for your vision to shine through. There are two bedrooms that are conveniently located on the first floor. Upstairs, the primary bedroom becomes a private retreat with its own half bath, a quiet escape tucked away from all the noise of the main level. Storage is one of this home's secret strengths. A full unfinished basement and attic space give you room to dream...whether its future expansion, a workshop, or simply a place to keep all your stuff. Outside, the backyard invites fun and possibility...summer barbecues, gardening, or peaceful relaxing evenings. A large brick garage provides secure parking and even more space for tools, bikes, or projects. This is more than a house-it's a fixer-upper offering solid bones, charm, and the chance to create something special. For the buyer with vision, this is your next project. Don't wait too long, call today to schedule your tour.
