Description

Nestled on a quiet, highly desirable cul-de-sac, this historic cedar shingle cottage offers rare privacy and timeless charm in one of Evanston's most sought-after neighborhoods. Designed by noted architect George C. Nimmons for Sears, Roebuck and Co., the home showcases classic early 20th-century craftsmanship, thoughtful proportions, and abundant natural light streaming through generous windows. The inviting layout features 4 bedrooms, 2.1 baths, a spacious living area, formal dining room, sunroom, and a family room addition-providing flexibility for today's lifestyle. A partially finished basement adds additional living and recreation space. Hardwood floors, granite countertops, and updated wood cabinetry enhance the home's character while blending modern convenience. Enjoy an exceptional setting directly across the street from Canal Shores Golf Course and adjacent to a neighborhood park with tennis courts-offering beautiful views, open green space, and easy access to scenic walking paths. Surrounded by mature trees, the property provides a peaceful, tucked-away feel while remaining incredibly convenient-just a short walk to the CTA Purple Line, Metra, Northwestern University, and the shops and restaurants of Central Street. The landscaped backyard creates the perfect retreat for relaxing or entertaining, complemented by a detached 2-car garage. Major updates include a new roof (2020), central air (2023), and water heater (2023). A rare opportunity to own a home with architectural pedigree, natural beauty, and an unbeatable Evanston location.
