About This Property

From the moment you arrive at the wrought iron gate of 1319, the experience begins, unfolding through the front door into a dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass-encased vestibule. At the heart of the home is a spectacular newly designed chef's kitchen that seamlessly combines beauty and functionality. A stunning oversized porcelain-topped Amish-crafted island serves as the centerpiece, surrounded by a suite of luxury appliances including Thermador, Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele, Dacor, and Fisher & Paykel. Thoughtful details such as a walk-in pantry, wraparound window seating, coffered ceilings, and herringbone hardwood flooring elevate the space even further.    The second level preserves the soul of the original home with rich rosewood-paneled walls and ceilings, offering warmth and authenticity rarely found today. Three ensuite bedrooms provide exceptional comfort, including a tranquil primary suite with sweeping views of the fountain and pool.    Designed with entertaining in mind, the lower level delivers an entirely unique experience. A recreation room with original stone fireplace and wide-plank flooring sets the stage for gathering, while the custom bunk room-with four built-in bunks featuring integrated lighting, storage, and charging stations-creates an unforgettable guest retreat. The spa-inspired locker room with dual showers, double vanities, custom lockers, and striking circular tile detail was thoughtfully designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living after long summer days by the pool.    Beyond the interiors, the grounds rival those of a private resort. A magnificent circular pool surrounded by tiered natural stone terraces becomes the focal point for entertaining and relaxation, offering a setting unlike anything else on the North Shore.    This is more than a home-it is an experience. Rich in history, once owned by legendary toy designer Marvin Glass who created Lite Brite, Operation, Rock 'Em Sock 'Em and other childhood favorites, an architectural pedigree, and thoughtful design, this one-of-a-kind residence offers a rare opportunity to own one of Evanston's most distinctive and unforgettable properties.
