The well-equipped kitchen is connected to the charming breakfast nook and adjacent to the powder room. The second-floor mimics a traditional four-square layout with four well-sized bedrooms, including one with access to a second-floor balcony overlooking the backyard, and a full bathroom with a refurbished original bathtub, tiled floor, and pedestal sink. The third-floor was fully renovated including calming skylights that create a serene treetop retreat. This multipurpose area is currently the primary bedroom and could easily be used as a family room. A full basement with generous ceiling height is used for storage, a work area, and the laundry area, and could be converted to a recreation space. The kitchen leads to an expansive wood deck leading to the backyard with a grassed area, 2-car brick garage, and one-of-a-kind outdoor shed. Located in southeast Evanston close to Main St. retail and trains, schools, and Ridgeville Park District.
