Beautiful JUMBO brick BUNGALOW in the sought-after DEWEY neighborhood. This is a very special home! Large rooms, great light, lovely vintage details--all carefully maintained & thoughtfully UPDATED. Admire the bow front as you walk up the steps onto the COVERED FRONT PORCH which has arched openings, a wooden ceiling, & roses climbing the walls outside. HUGE LIVING ROOM with three exposures, curving leaded glass windows & a WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE (with a restored & lined chimney). SEPARATE DINING ROOM has bay windows and again gets GREAT LIGHT because the house next door (a near twin) is set a good distance away. Two WELL-SIZED BEDROOMS with great closet space & a carefully RESTORED SUBWAY TILE BATHROOM on this level. SPACIOUS KITCHEN with butcher block counters & a pantry. Heated SUNROOM l eads out onto the DECK overlooking the LOVELY BACK YARD. Fantastic 2nd level can be used as an ENORMOUS PRIMARY SUITE or (as it is now) FLEX SPACE for a family room, office, & sitting room. Very large full bath with DOUBLE VANITY on 2nd floor. Kitchenette with sink & under-counter fridge. CENTRAL AIR (SpacePak) cools 1st & 2nd floors. HARDWOOD FLOORS throughout. Enormous, almost 1,700sf BASEMENT has HIGH CEILINGS and LARGE WINDOWS. Great for storage, ping pong & roller skating as it is, but also offers ENORMOUS POTENTIAL as a finished space. You could easily add 2 bedrooms, a bathroom & a family room down here. Fully FENCED YARD with ornamental trees (red buds, serviceberry, Japanese maple, dogwood), perennial flowers & fruits (blackberries, red currants, black currants & more), raised beds & a patio. One and a half car garage. FANTASTIC WALKABLE LOCATION just 2 blocks from PENNY PARK, 3 from Cherry Preschool, 4 from DEWEY ELEMENTARY & less than a mile to downtown Evanston & the Metra / El. The very best of urban-suburban living!
