Set in the heart of Evanston, this beautifully maintained and thoughtfully upgraded family home combines refined finishes, generous proportions and a layout designed for comfort and functionality. The entry creates a memorable first impression, with tailored wainscotting and abundant natural light, offering a sophisticated feel. The main floor features a bright, open-concept layout with the stylish kitchen, offering richly stained cabinetry that gives the kitchen depth and character, complemented by quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and a substantial island with generous seating. The upgraded walk-through pantry is as practical as it is polished, offering excellent storage and organization. The dining area opens directly onto the elevated deck, allowing summer gatherings to flow easily outdoors. A stone-faced fireplace anchors the living room, bringing warmth and an inviting sense of comfort to the space. A stylish powder room and functional mudroom complete the main level.

The spacious primary suite is complete with custom closet organization and a well-appointed ensuite featuring dual vanities, a deep soaker tub and a separate glass-enclosed shower. Two additional bedrooms and a beautifully finished full bathroom complete the upper floor. The fully developed lower level further extends the living space with a contemporary full bathroom, and an open-concept recreation area. The flexible layout provides ample space for a media lounge, games area, home gym or office, with room to adapt as your personal needs. Outside, the elevated deck is made for morning coffee, leisurely summer dinners and evenings beneath the stars. The fully fenced and landscaped backyard offers plenty of green space for children and pets, with room to create a charming garden retreat. Updated lighting throughout gives the interiors a fresh, cohesive finish, while central air conditioning keeps the home comfortable through the warmer months. The finished double attached garage provides additional storage and everyday convenience. New siding and a new roof, completed in 2025, add further curb appeal and valuable peace of mind. (id:60457)
