Description

This property is no longer available to rent or to buy. This description is from April 15, 2024
This remarkable property is a haven of classic charm, boasting a prime location in the popular Dewey neighborhood just a few blocks from the desirable Dewey school. It is within easy walking distance to Penny Park, CTA and Metra trains, and Downtown Evanston with all it has to offer. The house features a range of unique elements, including a spacious lot, high ceilings, and hardwood floors throughout. Charming vintage details are evident in the full-length hardwood flooring planks. The full walk-out basement, with a generous height, was rebuilt in 1950 and is ready to be finished. The beautiful large backyard is home to the fifth oldest tree in Evanston. The property also includes a nice detached 2.5-car garage and two additional parking spaces, ensuring ample space for your vehicles and guests. This is a lovingly maintained home with some improvement highlights, including an updated bathroom, newer roof and windows (2017), a water heater, and a completely rebuilt heat boiler within the last 10 years. Whether you're drawn to its vintage charm or eager to customize and expand, this home is a canvas waiting for your personal touch to create your ideal living space.
