Welcome to 1418 Forest Ave, a magnificent single-family residence in the heart of Evanston, IL, offering 6,750 square feet of beautiful living space. This home boasts six bedrooms and four and a half bathrooms, designed with exquisite architectural details including original leaded glass windows, plaster crown moldings, high ceilings and a spectacular center staircase. In an ideal location walkable to both downtown and Lake Michigan beaches, this architectural gem offers plentiful space, a half-acre lot, a rentable coachhouse, and 3 car garage. With all of the beautiful windows and plaster moldings intact, the house is a canvas for either a modern or traditional aesthetic. Large rooms are flooded with light and the open, circular floor plan make this home ideal for many different family configurations. The gorgeous living room and front screened porch are large and spacious. Both the sunroom, which features beautiful original terra cotta tile, and the large formal dining room overlook the expansive rear garden through large windows spanning almost the entire back of the home. The extra-large kitchen is full of light and beautiful views. The attached breakfast room and island with bar seating provide ample space for dining and entertaining with easy access to the garden and deck, making the indoor and outdoor space a seamless transition, perfect for outdoor gatherings. Ascend the center staircase (pictures don't do it justice!) to a delightful sitting room off the landing. A door leads from the sitting room to the first bedroom, currently decorated as home office. A full marble bath is located adjacent to this bedroom. The massive primary suite with spiral staircase to the third floor (there is also a regular staircase to the third floor) is great as is, or could be renovated to take maximal advantage of the large square footage. The large third bedroom completes the second floor. A fourth bedroom could be easily divided from the primary bedroom. The third floor has 2 full baths, a large double office or bedroom, 2 additional bedrooms, and a charming study / office space with original fireplace. This home offers the perfect blend of elegance and functionality, ready to welcome its new owner. Don't miss the chance to make this exceptional property your own. Property sold As-Is.
