Fully rehabbed house (in last 3 years) on possibly the best block in southeast Evanston (700 Michigan). 5 bed 2.5 bath with finished basement. 700 block is the heart and soul of southeast Evanston and neighbors couldn't be friendlier. Before and after rehab pics are attached. Steps to Lake Michigan beaches and great parks. Excellent grade school blocks away. Properties rarely come up for sale on this block and recent house sales have transacted privately. This house has had only two owners over the last 50 years and is updated for the next 50. House was fully gutted during pandemic as current owners lived in this house as they fixed a house a block away. Open floor plans, new kitchen, all new light fixtures, updated electric, baths redone, a completely new stone patio added with pathways around house, fully winterized sunroom with all new windows and Vermont stove, back porch rebuilt, and reworked landscaping of front and rear yards. Also, two room suite with a new full bath was added on the now finished third floor. Don't spend a dime fixing in this challenging price environment as everything is done. Perfect for young household, or anyone who wants to enjoy living in a great neighborhood immediately without wasting a huge amount of time and money on fixing an older, costly, Evanston home. This house lives great.
