This Evanston Victorian Landmark was built in 1908 by famous developper Edward C. Harms, as his personal residence. It was designated an Evanston Architectural landmark in 1978. During the 1940s and 50s, the interior of the home was featured twice on the cover of the Collier's magazine in scenes painted by local artist, Dave Mink. The home remained largely unchanged between 1927 and 2004 when a seris of renovations were undetaken that transformed the home into one that lives like new construction yet preserves its rich history and refined Victorian detail. Charming entry halls boasts original Victorian newel posts and banister, antique fixture, pine hard wood floors and French Doors that lead to the formal living room. The large living room is accented by a handsome corner wood burning fireplace, a bay window, original pine floors and woodwork as well as 9' ceilings. The formal dining room with bay windows leads to the renovated modern kitchen and the yard and patio through new Marvin French Doors. The patio and landscaping were professionally completed by Nature's Perspective, Evanston's premier landscaper. The bright kitchen is accented by new appliances, ceramic floor, eating bar, Corian counters with integral sink, etc. and leads to the 1st floor full bath, the lower level and the front hall. This versatile floor plan would allow the dining room alternatively to be used as a family rool adjacent to the kitchen and the large yard, while placing the dining area between the family and living rooms. The second floor houses three spacious bedrooms, a large, remodeled bath, and extensive storage. The master bedroom is charmed by a second wood burning corner fireplace and a bay window. The 3rd floor has been reconstructed to add the 4th bedroom and 1/2 bath, sitting room and office, plus ample storage.
