Charm and timeless elegance abound in this stunning and expanded 1920's home. Located in a premier North-east Evanston location just steps from the lake/Lighthouse Beach as well as both the Metra and L trains. The flagstone/brick front steps lead to a curved covered entry and into the home. Expansive living room takes you back in time with beautiful French doors and original leaded glass windows including a beautiful bay window. Plenty of space for multiple sitting areas and the centerpiece of the room is the wood-burning fireplace with marble surround and stunning 1700's Adam's brother's mantle from Mathern Palace in Wales. A set of French doors leads to a family room addition from approximately 20 years ago with hardwood flooring, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and tons of windows overlooking the maturely landscaped backyard. Convenient powder room with ceramic tile and a white vanity.

The perfect hobby or reading room could also be converted to a fourth upstairs bedroom. The primary bedroom has been expanded offering an amazing retreat with hardwood floors, a walk-in closet, and en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower with bench, separate bubble tub, and oversized vanity. There are two additional bedrooms (one with a half bath) and a full hall bathroom with a shower with bench and mirrored medicine cabinet.
