Absolutely wonderful 5 bedroom home in sought-after NW Evanston. There is so much to love about this home and location! Beautiful living room with wood-burning fireplace, arched doorways, and built-ins. The dining room is lovely with chair rail and built-in nook. The kitchen/family room is exactly what today's buyers are seeking - that open floor plan, including eat-in kitchen and breakfast bar. Family room has a gas fireplace and is filled with natural light. Very spacious kitchen has double ovens and granite countertops, an amazing space to entertain or watch over your family with this floor plan. Gorgeous updated primary suite with new and fabulous primary bath, gas fireplace, and two walk-in closets. Three secondary bedrooms on the second floor and renovated full bath. A third floor suite includes loads of versatile space (perfect for guests, au pair, teens): the fifth bedroom, full bath, an inviting reading corner, bonus room, "homework hallway", and finished storage. In addition to all of that wonderful above-grade space, the basement provides even more: a huge rec room with enough space for an exercise area, half bath, game room area, large laundry room, and more storage with pantry shelving. This home offers so much and in addition is loaded with great updates, including new windows throughout, roof, furnace with whole-house steam humidifier, front steps and entry, and 2.5 car garage. This is the one! **Seller requests a normal close date and a lease back through mid to late July**

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis was the worst school of my 3 years. I was only looking forward to graduating from this school because I couldn’t handle the trouble that lead to this drama at our school. When I met the assistant principal she was a little nice, but she started to have a pessimistic attitude towards me and the other students because she kept seeing too many cell phones, and students in the hallway without a pass, when most of them were damaged or broken. Also, some of my teachers ignored the behavior where someone was using slurs and insults to make fun of religion and culture, so I felt very uncomfortable of being in that classroom. My recommendation would be to take your child’s education at another school because this school made me very uncomfortable for the past 3 yearsOther Review1mo ago - Lincolnwood Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe've been so happy with ETHS. Coming from a small middle school we were wondering how the transition to be a big school would go. It was very smooth. The school does so many events for 8th graders to get them comfortable and is very communicative with parents. There are so many clubs and activities to choose from that all kids really have an opportunity to find a good fit. PE includes a swim unit and they get to swim in the school's very nice pool. At parent-teacher conferences I was so happy with all the staff, they've been so great.Parent Review5mo ago
