About This Property

Evanston Landmark - Historic Architecture Meets Modern Potential    This exceptional five-bedroom English Tudor estate with a two-bedroom coach house offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Evanston's architectural heritage. Designed by renowned architect Ernest Mayo, the home showcases timeless craftsmanship and thoughtful updates-ready to be reimagined for modern living.    Perfectly positioned just steps from Evanston's lakefront, parks, and beaches, the residence rests on a double lot with manicured grounds, a private fenced yard, and a classic porte-cochere. With a new roof, new heating, new air conditioning systems, and four new wood-burning fireplaces and chimneys, the property provides a solid foundation for customization. Its historic architecture and enduring construction make it the ideal blank canvas to blend classic design with 21st-century style.    Inside, a breathtaking two-story great hall with 20-foot ceilings and a grand fireplace sets the tone for the home's remarkable scale and character. Formal living and dining rooms, a sunroom, and a light-filled solarium create elegant settings for both everyday living and refined entertaining.    A mezzanine-level library overlooks the great hall, while the second floor offers spacious bedrooms filled with natural light streaming through a dramatic wall of windows. The expansive third floor includes a ballroom and flexible areas with a kitchenette-perfect for a home office, studio, or guest suite.    The charming coach house features a two-car garage and a generous two-bedroom apartment-ideal for guests, extended family, or rental income.    Located close to Chicago's cultural hub, known for its world-class museums, vibrant arts and music scene. Just moments from Evanston's downtown restaurants, boutiques, and community events, this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own and reimagine a true Evanston landmark.
