Maher offers a unique opportunity to own a significant piece of Chicago's architectural heritage. A timeless expression of classic design, the home showcases Maher's signature emphasis on light, flow, and unity of space. Graciously scaled rooms with 11' ceilings on the first floor unfold with minimal separation, anchored by a centrally located library with a fireplace and custom mahogany built-ins, seamlessly connecting the living and dining rooms. Large windows fill the interiors with natural light, creating a strong connection to the surrounding landscape. Lovingly maintained by the same family for over 62 years and thoughtfully prepared for market with many updates, the home offers a rare blend of historic character and modern livability. The first floor features a formal entry and grand foyer with a walk-in entry closet and dramatic staircase. A newly updated powder room and a spacious, sun-drenched kitchen feature soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, and a butler's pantry, with direct access to the back porch and deck-ideal for grilling. The dining room flows into a sunroom with access to the beautifully rebuilt (2023) 900-square-foot basketweave brick wraparound terrace, edged by Maher's original cast-concrete balusters. Two additional sets of French doors from the living room further extend the living space outdoors. Easy access to the second floor from either formal or back staircases. This floor offers five bedrooms, including a primary suite with an adjacent bedroom and private access to a hall bath appointed with a newly glazed clawfoot tub and marble sink, offering flexibility for use as a dressing room, sitting room, or nursery. A newer hall bath features a walk-in glass shower, and second-floor laundry adds everyday convenience. A Jack-and-Jill bath serves additional bedrooms, while a separate sauna and a bright sun porch further enhance the level. The third floor provides exceptional flexibility with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a generous playroom or yoga/retreat space. A rare and remarkable offering, this home embodies enduring elegance, architectural significance, and a legacy of design excellence. Ideally positioned in the estate section of the Ridge Historic District, the residence is just moments from downtown Evanston and its shopping, dining, lakefront, parks, schools, and cultural amenities. Additional highlights include a roof replaced in 2010 and a three-car garage with storage. Agent Owned.
