540 Hinman Ave APT 7, Evanston, IL 60202

Welcome to this bright top-floor 3-bedroom, 2-bath lofted condo in one of Evanston's most convenient and walkable locations. The home offers approximately 1,150 square feet of living space plus a 150-square-foot loft, providing around 1,300 square feet of usable space. Its smart split floor plan feels spacious, flexible, and comfortable for everyday living. The open living, dining, and kitchen layout flows naturally for both relaxing and entertaining, while vaulted ceilings and hardwood floors throughout add warmth and character. Accessed by a classic wooden ladder, the loft offers flexible space for storage, a reading area, home office, or sleeping nook. The ladder access can also be easily blocked off for toddlers or small children. The updated kitchen features premium granite countertops, a pantry, and an instant filtered hot and cold water dispenser. The home also includes a high-end, energy-efficient LG washer/dryer combo unit, which can be replaced with separate or stackable units using the existing hookups. Newer light fixtures and ceiling fans are found throughout, along with smart light and fan switches and pre-wiring for a smart thermostat. Step outside onto the semi-private balcony and deck overlooking quiet Megowen Park, with peaceful eastern sunrise views toward Hinman Street. A playground and green space sit directly behind the building, while Lake Michigan's South Beach is also within walking distance. Trader Joe's, Jewel-Osco, restaurants, coffee shops, shopping, and entertainment are just a few blocks away. Both the CTA Purple Line at South Boulevard and the Metra Main Street station are only a quick 3-5-minute walk, providing easy access south into Chicago or north toward Ravinia Festival. Additional features include one deeded parking space, guest parking, gated entry with camera intercom, a double storage unit, low assessments, and a pet-friendly, investor-friendly building. The condo is currently vacant and move-in ready. Some listing photos show the home furnished to help illustrate the layout and possibilities of each room. This home offers a comfortable Evanston setting near Lincoln Elementary School, Northwestern University, parks, transit, the lakefront, and everyday conveniences.
