A gem of a house for commuters looking to take advantage of Evanston "city life" with easy access to everything that Chicago has to offer. Open spaces, exposed brick, natural light, high ceilings, stunning 3/4 inch solid maple floors, and high-end custom finishes create an industrial chic modern ambiance in southeast Evanston.
