With over 1800 square feet of living space, this well-designed layout offers two spacious ensuite bedrooms, each with a private bath and walk-in closet, plus a convenient half bath for guests. Freshly painted, light-filled interiors are complemented by all-new modern light fixtures and ceiling fans, creating a bright and cohesive feel throughout. The updated kitchen features new stainless steel appliances, while the first floor includes a versatile den/office/flex space and full-size washer and dryer, allowing the home to adapt easily to a range of lifestyles. Outdoor living is equally impressive, with a private 10' x 19' patio fully enclosed by a privacy fence, overlooking a serene wooded backdrop an ideal setting for outdoor dining or enjoying a quiet morning coffee in a peaceful, secluded environment. Additional highlights include a geothermal heating and cooling system for outstanding energy efficiency, an attached one-car garage, and a dedicated second outdoor parking space. HVAC ducts were recently cleaned and UV-C light added for cleaner air distribution throughout the home. The low HOA covers all landscaping, snow removal, and salting, delivering truly low-maintenance living. Located approximately 0.6 miles to the Metra, 0.8 miles to downtown Evanston, 1.7 miles to Northwestern University, 1.2 miles to lakefront beaches and walking paths, and directly across from Mason Park with recreational amenities.
