Description

Some properties are about what they are. This one is about what it can become - and where it sits. Set on an oversized lot in one of Evanston's most sought-after pockets, 1744 Wesley is a classic brick home that puts the best of downtown Evanston at your doorstep. The Saturday farmers market is three minutes away on foot. The Davis Street transit hub - where the Metra Union Pacific North Line and CTA Purple Line converge - is less than a 10-minute walk, connecting you to downtown Chicago with ease....Some properties are about what they are. This one is about what it can become - and where it sits. Set on an oversized lot in one of Evanston's most sought-after pockets, 1744 Wesley is a classic brick home that puts the best of downtown Evanston at your doorstep. The Saturday farmers market is three minutes away on foot. The Davis Street transit hub - where the Metra Union Pacific North Line and CTA Purple Line converge - is less than a 10-minute walk, connecting you to downtown Chicago with ease. Restaurants, shops, the lakefront, and everything that makes Evanston one of the North Shore's most livable cities are all within easy reach. The home itself is solid and full of opportunity. The main floor offers a living room, dining room, kitchen, full bath, and bedroom. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are upstairs. The partially finished basement adds meaningful living space with a large rec room, half bath, and laundry room, along with substantial storage and utility areas. The two-car detached garage completes the package. But the real story here is the lot - deep, wide, and ready. Whether you envision a major addition, a gut renovation, or a ground-up new build, the bones and the land are there to support it. Properties with this combination of location, lot size, and brick construction don't come around often in this neighborhood. This is a rare chance to buy into one of Evanston's most walkable blocks and make it exactly what you want it to be.
