Gorgeous, peaceful sanctuary. 1240 sq ft front unit in a well maintained, PET-FRIENDLY courtyard building. South, West and North-facing windows overlooking tree-lined Forest Ave just south of Main St in historic SE Evanston. This lovely home is just a hop/skip from the energy on Main Street, you can easily join in when you choose to. High-ceilings, wide mouldings, wall sconces, and lovely oak hardwood floors throughout retain the gracious feel of years gone by. The great room grandly encompasses both the dining and living rooms, and the two distinct spaces flow together seamlessly. On the north side of the unit are 2 large bedrooms divided by a lovely full bathroom, plus a 3rd flex-space. That 3rd room - it could be a bedroom, office, nursery, classroom - what do you want/need it to be? To top it all off, you'll love the updated kitchen with newer appliances, Corian countertops, tons of storage, and a subway tile backsplash. The laundry, bike room, and 2 massive storage spaces are just downstairs. In-unit laundry has been approved, but these owners didn't feel the need to install. Forest Square boasts a solid association and is a professionally managed building with careful maintenance and a solid reserve account. You'll find easy street parking, or rental parking available at city lots nearby. This is truly a walk-to-everything location! Beaches, groceries, coffee shops, shopping, restaurants, live music are all an easy walk. Via Metra, CTA you're only minutes to downtown Evanston & NU to the north, and Chicago's Loop, the Cubs (and White Sox), as well as all of the big-city entertainment to the south.
