About This Property

Beautiful, Tudor-Style home on a DOUBLE LOT in the heart of Evanston! The home has 4-beds/2.5-baths with an office/den space on the main floor that could easily become a 5th bedroom if needed, AND two garages accommodating up to 4 cars! Sellers have maintained the property meticulously over the 13 years they've owned and loved the home. The craftsmanship of the home is impeccable with tons of attention to detail - the custom crown molding and other millwork, original hardwood floors and stairs, and the original and pristine tilework in the upstairs bath, are just some of the features. The sellers have made plenty of updates to add modern conveniences to the home, including renovating the kitchen with custom cabinetry, high-end Viking appliances and brand new quartz countertops. They had the basement waterproofed with a drain tile/sump pump system, added a 2nd full bath, and sanded/stained/sealed the concrete floors. They updated all the electrical in the home (including a new panel); added a new solar hot water system (the home's hot water is FREE!!); updated the woodburning fireplace by having the firebox tuckpointed & painted, the smoke chamber parged, a stainless lock-top damper installed, and had custom decorative tile added to the fireplace's facade. They replaced the back deck and both overhead garage doors, and added custom shelving and wall storage in both garages. AND they had the entire exterior of the home and garage repaired (as needed) and painted! The exterior features of this property are just as incredible as the interior...first of all, the backyard's playset and basketball hoop will transfer with the property. Now, let's talk about the amazing garden the sellers have cultivated on the extra lot to the East side of the home. Over the last 13 years, they have transformed this lot into a living sanctuary of organic fruit trees, nut bushes, native wildflowers and grasses, a raised bed vegetable garden, and more. By designing a "Permaculture Food Forest," they have intermixed diverse plants in ways that imitate a forest ecosystem, require no harmful chemicals or fertilizers, and contribute to a healthy habitat for birds, butterflies, and pollinators. A Certified Wildlife Habitat, this urban oasis is beautiful, easy to care for, and bursting with fresh, healthy food! The lot features a Juneberry Tree, an Asian Pear Tree, a Plum Tree, a Honeycrisp Apple Tree, a Cherry Tree, Chicago Fig Trees, Paw Paw Trees, 18 Hazelnut Bushes, 16 Black Chokeberry/Raspberry/Black Currant/Blackberry and Gooseberry Bushes, plus native grasses, flowers, and plants, and a "Root and Roost" Chicken Coop and Run with 6 chickens! Please see "additional info" for a map of the yard & gardens. For buyers interested in maintaining the yard, the sellers would be happy to share more about the many different elements - or if you're not interested in maintaining it and would prefer a clear side lot, the sellers will do their best to re-home as much as they can. This is a RARE OPPORTUNITY in Evanston...don't miss the chance to call this incredible property your own!
