    What's special

    Welcome home to 1608 Ashland, a stately Italianate Victorian with generous rooms & 10' ceilings. This home boasts the beautiful balance of vintage character alongside the many amenities that today's buyer expects: SpacPac throughout, 2 rebuilt wood-burning fireplaces, a completely refreshed white kitchen, 1st floor laundry, 3-car garage, in-ground sprinklers, a mudroom, hardwood floors throughout, neutral decor and SimpliSafe Home Security System. Whether it's daily living or entertaining, there's space for everyone in this gracious home. Each room seems to connect to another that's as large or larger than the one you just walked through. The windows are long and numerous with wonderful E,S,W exposures. The large eat-in kitchen is well designed for daily meal-prep needs but also well suited for the serious chef. The kitchen features a 60" 6-burner Wolf Range with French Top, 48" Sub-Zero Fridge, Nest thermostats, freshly painted custom white wood cabinetry, tons of natural light and hickory floors. Enjoy your choice of five 2nd floor bedrooms and two full baths. There's a 3rd full bath on the 1st floor. Enjoy the outdoors on the jumbo deck with remote controlled awning. The details make all the difference at 1608 Ashland: everything from the millwork/moldings, bannister, curved staircase, numerous built-ins/shelves and wainscoting in the foyer alcove & throughout the 2nd floor hallway. Plus, there's surprisingly good ceiling height in the unfinished basement. Located in the heart of the Ridge Historic District and walking distance from vibrant downtown Evanston shops, restaurants, library, coffee houses & theaters, award winning Dewey Elementary School & ETHS, and both the Metra & 'L train lines.
