Beautifully maintained brick Georgian with thoughtful addition in idyllic Evanston location. Meticulous owners added a family room and half bath to main floor and built a primary bedroom and bath on second floor(both in 2003) to create a unique Georgian with 4 actual bedrooms on second floor. Updated eat in kitchen(2008), with granite counters and newer stainless steel appliances(dishwasher new in 2023) and new canned lighting(2023) opens to a separate dining room and leads a few steps down to the spacious and bright family room. Besides all the interior updates, owners have done the following: new patio in 2004, new windows throughout in 2008, new furnace, water heater and primary windows in 2019, new roof on house and tuckpointing in 2022, AC and humidifier in 2025, garage gutters in 2026. Ideal location near public and private schools, parks and ice rinks, Main/Chicago Ave Shopping District and the Main St Purple Line and Metra train stops.
