Historic character, modern comfort, and exceptional Evanston walkability come together in this light-filled home east of Ridge, directly across from Firefighter's Park. Recent improvements begin with a new central heat-pump system with air conditioning in 2026, refrigerator in 2025, dishwasher and luxury range with convection, air-fry, and sous-vide functions in 2024, chimney work in 2023, and new roof and main drain pipe in 2020. Additional updates include electrical improvements, newer lighting, and home-automation and network wiring. Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, original moldings, and beautifully preserved natural wood trim highlight the home's historic character. The main level offers spacious living and dining rooms, two bedrooms, and a full bath, providing flexibility for bedrooms, guests, or home-office use. Upstairs, refinished hardwood floors and skylights brighten the primary suite, updated slate bath with RH fixtures, large tandem room, and flexible den-ideal for an office, nursery, dressing room, or creative space. A screened porch overlooks the private backyard, while the basement with exterior access provides laundry, workshop space, and generous storage. Just minutes from Northwestern University, CTA and Metra stations, downtown Evanston, and the lakefront, this is a distinctive opportunity for buyers who value authentic architectural character, thoughtful updates, and a highly walkable location.
