Deceptively larger than it looks - this charming home is situated just 3 blocks to Central Street and is a delight both indoors and outdoors! An inviting front porch with room for rocking chairs allows you to greet your neighbors plus a large, vaulted screened porch with multiple seating areas and easy access to the kitchen/family room is the unexpected surprise at the back of the house - with a very quiet and private setting overlooking the landscaped back yard. Inside, you'll be equally delighted by a sunny living room with giant oversized windows, a generous dining room with bay window, white kitchen with seating and adjacent cozy family room, two first floor bedrooms and an expanded, updated hall bathroom. The lower level has a bedroom and full bath, plus a cozy den/office in addition to a workshop, laundry and storage. Located on a double block with the longest running block party in Evanston, you will easily meet your neighbors while also enjoying an easy walk to everything Central Street has to offer or head a few blocks north to the vibrant downtown Wilmette restaurants. This carefully maintained home includes many recent updates, see agent for full list. Welcome home!
