About This Property
Classic Victorian charm meets thoughtful space and updates on one
of Evanston's most loved, walkable streets. Set on picturesque Park
Place with its wide parkways and welcoming neighborhood feel, this
painted Victorian offers the best of old and new-original
architectural details paired with significant additions, modern
systems, and a meticulous maintenance history. A fully rebuilt
front porch leads into a gracious foyer showcasing the original
Victorian staircase, setting the tone for the home's timeless
character. The main level features elegant vintage details,
hardwood floors, and high ceilings. A formal living opens to the
dining room, which has a lovely bay window with a window seat. The
first-floor bedroom-currently used as an office-adds flexibility.
The 1996-97 addition expanded the heart of the home with a generous
kitchen, family room, and breakfast area. The kitchen includes 42"
cabinetry, a large island with Corian countertops, custom tile
backsplash, double ovens, five-burner gas cooktop, and a separate
bar sink. The adjoining family room offers a wood-burning fireplace
and bay window overlooking the backyard, while sliding doors from
the breakfast area open to a screened porch. A full bath with
shower completes the first floor. Upstairs, hardwood floors
continue throughout four bedrooms, including a private primary
suite with backyard views, walk-in closet, and en-suite bath. All
closets are professionally organized, and the floor is served by a
full hall bath with double vanity, tub/shower, and excellent linen
storage. The basement was substantially improved during the
addition, featuring a finished family room, laundry, storage, and
mechanical spaces, plus an under-addition area with very high
ceilings offering future finishing potential. Waterproofing with
Everlast walls and a double sump pump system with battery backup
provides peace of mind. The fenced backyard includes a screened
porch, deck, and a 21/2-car garage. Major improvements include new
electrical, plumbing including water line to the street, rebuilt
porches, roof replacement, updated HVAC with zoned systems,
waterproofing, newer appliances, and a brand-new hot water heater.
All of this is just steps from Central Street shops and dining,
Metra trains, Willard School, Downtown Wilmette, and more-an
exceptional opportunity on a truly special street.
