Property Description
There is a great deal to love about this modest home. The fact that it is move in ready with the terrific renovations done on the main floor, is huge. The kitchen and bath were completely renovated around a dozen years ago, and they still show exceptionally well. The main floor layout is quite flexible. A cozy "breakfast nook" was carved out of the Living Room. The current owners chose open the third bedroom and convert it into a formal dining room space. Obviously, the dining room could seamlessly be transformed back to its original bedroom designation with a wall and door. Oak hardwood floors run through the first floor with the exception of the kitchen and bath. The kitchen boasts 42 inch cabinets and lots of granite counterspace along with stainless steel appliances. It is a pleasant, light filled space to prepare your next culinary feast or something as mundane as a grilled cheese and a can of tomato soup. The blank canvas that is the basement should offer this home's new owners a chance to get their creative juices flowing. The functional half bath is prepped for a shower to make it full. There is a potential downstairs bedroom or office framed, as is the recreation/family room. A cement patio allows for a terrific outside dining space. Recently installed privacy fencing is sharp. The 2 car garage opens to the alley and an additional overhead door accesses the yard. First floor windows and renovation occurred in 2010. The roof was torn off and replaces (2021) and the A/C was replaced in the last few years. This home rests in an outrageously convenient Evanston location. Situated less than a mile from James Park and the (New) Robert Crown Community Center and the Levy Center. Lake Michigan, and access to the CTA & METRA trains are within a mile and a half, as are tons of shops & restaurants. Grab an appointment for the weekend. The seller prefers to convey the home AS-IS.
