A truly special offering, this stunning 5 bedroom Victorian Home blends timeless architecture with modern luxury. Thoughtfully and extensively renovated by two architect owners, the home honors its historic roots while seamlessly accommodating today's lifestyle with exceptional design, quality finishes, and meticulous attention to detail throughout. The first floor welcomes you with an elegant foyer, new hardwood floors, and abundant natural light from all-new windows. A grand living room impresses with soaring ceilings, crown molding, custom built-ins, and a gas fireplace, while the formal dining room features a beautiful built-in hutch complete with dual wine and beverage refrigerators-perfect for entertaining. The 2021-renovated kitchen is both stylish and functional, offering ceiling-height white wood cabinetry, a pantry, generous prep space, and a built-in bench and table that comfortably seats eight, all overlooking the landscaped backyard. A cozy office or sitting room with a second gas fireplace, a powder room, and a magnificent three-level staircase complete the main level. The second floor features a luxurious primary suite with a spacious bedroom, sitting room, walk-in closet, in-suite washer and dryer, and a beautifully appointed bath with shower, statement vanity, and tile finishes. Two additional large bedrooms, a hall bath, and a linen closet round out the level, all accented by vintage transom windows, crown molding, and high ceilings that reflect the home's original character. The third floor offers incredible flexibility with a large family or TV room, two generous bedrooms with closets, an office, full bath, and ample storage-ideal for guests, work-from-home needs, or multi-generational living. The fully renovated lower level (2021) provides even more living space, including a recreation room, playroom, laundry room, storage areas, and crawl space. Major mechanical and structural updates include dual boilers and zoned SpacePak HVAC systems, a 75-gallon water heater, a 200-amp electric panel, fully updated electrical and plumbing (including the water line to the street), reinforced structural beams, and a newer roof. Outside, enjoy the charm of a front porch and a beautifully landscaped backyard designed for fun and relaxation, complete with a paver patio, outdoor TV, and basketball court. The long driveway offers parking for up to six cars, and the garage/coach house includes permitted renovation plans with historic approval, offering exciting future potential. All of this is set in a fabulous, walkable location, just steps to downtown Evanston shopping, dining and both Metra and el trains, Dewey Elementary School, and Evanston Township High School. Close to Northwestern University and Lake Michigan. A rare opportunity to own a historic home where classic elegance and modern comfort come together effortlessly.
