Spacious 5+ bedroom Colonial in sought-after Northwest Evanston-ideally situated just minutes from downtown Evanston and Old Orchard Mall. This inviting home offers space, functionality, and flexibility for today's lifestyle. Upstairs, you'll find two ensuite primary bedrooms, ideal for multi-generational living or guest accommodations, along with a hall bath that serves three additional spacious bedrooms. Need more space? The main floor includes a potential sixth bedroom-perfectly configured for a private home office with a separate entrance for clients, adjacent to a full guest bath and a mudroom that leads directly to the rare two-car attached garage. The heart of the home is the large kitchen, which flows seamlessly into a sunny breakfast/informal dining area and an open family room featuring a custom wall of built-in shelving and cabinetry-perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The refrigerator, range, and dishwasher were updated in 2018. Summer entertainment is a breeze from the large adjoining deck. Enjoy hosting in the formal dining room or cozying up in the spacious living room with its elegant bay window and wood-burning fireplace, whose chimney was re-lined in 2021 for safety and efficiency. The large basement family room offers additional recreational/entertainment space with second fireplace, exercise room and workshop along with laundry. Leased solar panels were installed in 2024 for energy efficiency and sustainability. Freshly painted with hardwood floors throughout. This home combines classic charm with incredible space.
