Welcome to 540 Michigan Ave Unit H1, a charming 2-bedroom condo on the high first floor of a 1920 brick building on a quiet, tree-lined block in southeast Evanston, just two blocks from the beach and the lakefront, with a private heated one-car garage behind the building. Oak hardwood floors run through the living room, the separate dining room, and both bedrooms, and the home is finished with a full decorative mantle and built-ins. The galley kitchen has granite counters, wood cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas range, and a ceramic tile floor. The full bath features a soaking tub, and new light fixtures and fresh paint brighten the rooms throughout. A private storage room in the basement, a bike room, and common laundry come with the building, and a small back landing offers a second way in and out. Baker Park sits right behind the building, transit on Chicago Avenue is about a quarter mile away, and Jewel-Osco, Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Aldi are all within two miles.
