Sweet and charming frame home in southeast Evanston. This 5-bedroom, 3-bath residence features a welcoming front porch, bright living and dining rooms with high ceilings and hardwood floors, plus a versatile main-level bedroom (or office) with full bath. The open kitchen with adjoining breakfast room completes the first floor. Upstairs, the primary suite is complemented by two additional bedrooms, including one with an enclosed porch, and a full hall bath. The top floor is an open studio area-perfect as a playroom, family room, or rec area-enhanced by three skylights, plus a fifth bedroom. Tall windows and exposures on all sides fill this home with natural light. The basement has room for a workshop, plentiful storage and the laundry room. Outdoors, enjoy the back porch, landscaped perennial gardens, and a wide 45-foot lot with a 1-car garage and easy alley access. Recent Updates: New refrigerator and dishwasher (2022); new gutters on north side (2021); new A/C compressor unit with added attic vents, new roof, and skylights (2020); new water heater and new sewer line and cleanout in basement (2017). All this in a fantastic location-just three blocks from the South Blvd Metra and Purple Line, 1/2 mile from Main Street shops, and one mile from South Blvd Beach.
