Enjoy lake breezes and awesome sunrises from this impressive Greek Revival with coach house built in 1903, offering timeless elegance in an exceptional setting. The home is situated on one of Evanston's most prestigious lakefront streets, overlooking beautiful Dawes Park and Arrington Lagoon, just moments from Northwestern University and downtown Evanston. Rich in architectural character, it showcases exquisite original details, including a grand formal foyer surrounded by leaded glass windows, a sweeping bridal staircase, and extraordinary woodwork throughout. The expansive living room is anchored by a stately fireplace with original built-ins and enhanced by classic period details. The formal dining room is equally impressive, featuring paneled walls, a beamed ceiling and a dramatic fireplace adorned with handcrafted antique Delft tiles. The adjacent, generously sized eat-in kitchen offers a modern footprint.

Two powder rooms complete the main level. The second floor features a spacious primary suite with a spa-inspired bath, excellent storage, and private den/office. Two additional bedrooms have en-suite, updated baths. The third floor has walkouts from French doors to enjoy the lake, and offers two more bedrooms, two baths, and a large game room with a bar-perfect for entertaining or extended family living. The lower level has radiant heat in the flooring in the bathroom and storage and includes a full kitchen, media room, office, game area, full bath, fireplace, and abundant storage. A convenient, beautifully tiled and heated private walkway provides interior access to the three-car garage. The coach house is 1120 sq. ft. and has a large living room with a vaulted ceiling, 2 beds/2 baths + office - a perfect spot for guests, multi-generational living or a coveted rental!

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have been at Dewey with both our daughters for over six years now and love it. It has become a strong community for us and our daughters. The teachers have been able to inspire our children as well as amazingly able to focus on what academic needs they have. Our oldest matriculated on to Nichols, and our youngest is in the TWI program, which has been an amazing experience for her. The PTA is very strong here and allows for parent involvement in the educational support of our community, which we also really appreciate. Great school. We're glad we moved to Evanston and to Dewey.Parent Review2y ago - Nichols Middle School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy experience at the school was in the middle. I would see Everston Township is false advertisement. They do not provide safety as much as they say they do. They do not keep students safe as much as they say they do. They also do not have such a good emotional support system. Many adults in there are very disrespectful and get upset when students are disrespectful back, but in a place like that, we are all supposed to feel welcomed safe like family and respected, but they don’t speak on the bad there are staff members there that are entirely rude. They will argue back-and-forth with you. There are teachers there that don’t try to help and support students when they are struggling on work. punishments are so unfair there mainly towards black kids Evanston Township talks about how diverse it is, but it doesn’t talk about also how racist it is.Student Review2mo ago
