This charming 3-bed, 2-bath home blends modern updates with cozy character, making it an easy choice for your next move. The bright, open floor plan features a main-level family room and a dedicated dining area-great for everyday living or casual entertaining. While thoughtfully updated in 2025, the home retains a welcoming, lived-in feel. Dark-stained oak hardwood floors add warmth and a modern touch, while the kitchen offers both style and practicality with quartz countertops, an eye-catching backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Recessed lighting and updated fixtures throughout provide a fresh look without sacrificing comfort. The first-floor bathroom has been refreshed, and the kitchen and bath benefit from newer plumbing-helping you settle in with confidence. Location-wise, you'll love the convenience. Just a block away, you'll find local staples like Valli Produce, Zentil, Starbucks, and Blink Fitness. Plus, you're only 10 minutes from Lake Michigan and Northwestern University. Commuting is a breeze with the Dempster St. Bus offering easy access to Downtown Evanston and O'Hare.
