Evanston's best kept secret is ready for you to create your next chapter. Tucked away in a picturesque 1920's enclave, this elegant 1925 Chicago-style bungalow offers a rare blend of preserved artistry and incredible versatility. Bathed in natural light from signature curved window walls, high ceilings and extensive moldings, this home has wonderful vintage details for you to build upon, creating your new long-term home. The expansive living room features the original leaded art-glass windows with gold accents; while hardwood floors, decorative plaster work, and natural wood doors abound. Excellent wall space grants options for artwork, furniture and a flat screen. The large dining room is adjacent to the kitchen, which could possibly be opened to create a more modern kitchen/family s pace or keep as is for a more formal vibe. Both the living and dining rooms are large enough to be multi-purpose. All three main floor bedrooms are large (with good closet space), and the back bedroom has a unique curved window wall overlooking the backyard. The upper level has infinite potential. Currently serving as an airy artist's studio, the second floor is illuminated by three skylights and dormered end windows. This space is primed for future expansion and upgrade; adding a dormer for a second full bath and using the space as a primary suite, dueling offices, getaway space or a great guest or in-law suite. The full, unfinished basement has plenty of room for storage, weight or exercise room, kid, man or woman cave, band practice or a wood shop. The brick, two car garage is accessed off the alley and the retro ribbon driveway in front lets you get another car off the street for easy loading & unloading. Ideally situated near St. Francis Hospital, the South Blvd "L" stop & the Howard Street Transportation Center, and the vibrant shops, services, restaurants and entertainment venues of Evanston proper.
