Welcome to this enchanting Victorian gem in the heart of NE Evanston-where historic charm meets contemporary comfort! The best location close to Noyes St, downtown, and the beach, this meticulously updated home is TRULY turn-key, everything has been taken care of for you. Windows have been replaced, floors refinished, kitchen and baths updated, closets organized, basement finished .... the list of improvements goes on. Soaring 9.5 foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and handsome moldings speak to the home's rich heritage, while a thoughtful kitchen renovation has seamlessly woven in today's most desired amenities. The chef's kitchen is a true showpiece featuring custom cabinetry, honed quartzite countertops, and state-of-the-art appliances. It flows effortlessly via a convenient butler's pantry with beverage fridge and display cabinets into a sunlit dining area.

The recently finished basement is a fun place to hang with its game table area and rec room, and a home gym makes working out easily accessible. Outside, enjoy morning coffee or evening wine on your back deck, host parties in the landscaped backyard, or take a short stroll to nearby parks, boutiques, restaurants, and Evanston's picturesque lakefront. The 2.5 car garage affords tons of storage in its loft area, a huge perk! Discover the perfect blend of vintage charm and modern luxury, all in one of Evanston's most coveted neighborhoods.
