About this home
Beautiful JUMBO brick BUNGALOW in the sought-after DEWEY neighborhood. This is a very special home! Large rooms, great light, lovely vintage details--all carefully maintained & thoughtfully UPDATED. Admire the bow front as you walk up the steps onto the COVERED FRONT PORCH which has arched openings, a wooden ceiling, & roses climbing the walls outside. HUGE LIVING ROOM with three exposures, curving leaded glass windows & a WOOD-BURNING FIREPLACE (with a restored & lined chimney). SEPARATE DINING ROOM has bay windows and again gets GREAT LIGHT because the house next door (a near twin) is set a good distance away. Two WELL-SIZED BEDROOMS with great closet space & a carefully RESTORED SUBWAY TILE BATHROOM on this level. SPACIOUS KITCHEN with butcher block counters & a pantry. Heated SUNROOM leads out onto the DECK overlooking the LOVELY BACK YARD. Fantastic 2nd level can be used as an ENORMOUS PRIMARY SUITE or (as it is now) FLEX SPACE for a family room, office, & sitting room. Very large full bath with DOUBLE VANITY on 2nd floor. Kitchenette with sink & under-counter fridge. CENTRAL AIR (SpacePak) cools 1st & 2nd floors. HARDWOOD FLOORS throughout. Enormous, almost 1,700sf BASEMENT has HIGH CEILINGS and LARGE WINDOWS. Great for storage, ping pong & roller skating as it is, but also offers ENORMOUS POTENTIAL as a finished space. You could easily add 2 bedrooms, a bathroom & a family room down here. Fully FENCED YARD with ornamental trees (red buds, serviceberry, Japanese maple, dogwood), perennial flowers & fruits (blackberries, red currants, black currants & more), raised beds & a patio. One and a half car garage. FANTASTIC WALKABLE LOCATION just 2 blocks from PENNY PARK, 3 from Cherry Preschool, 4 from DEWEY ELEMENTARY & less than a mile to downtown Evanston & the Metra / El. The very best of urban-suburban living!...
