Special updated property in a coveted northeast Evanston location overlooking Canal Shores Golf Course. Set on a quiet private street ending in a cul-de-sac, this light-filled home offers the perfect combination of architectural character, generous living spaces, newer windows and an unbeatable location just blocks from Lake Michigan beaches, Central Street, the Metra, and the Linden El. A stylized welcoming foyer with gorgeous tile welcomes you with sight lines through the home. Spacious living room and dining room feature wonderful natural light, large windows and hardwood floors. The updated kitchen with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances opens seamlessly to the heart of the home: a spectacular family room addition with soaring ceilings, oversized arched windows and French doors, and views of the beautifully landscaped backyard. The second floor features a generous primary suite with a private balcony offering expansive eastern views, a beautifully renovated spa-like luxe bath, and great closet space. Three additional bedrooms all with exceptional vistas and a second full bath complete the level. The finished lower level includes a large recreation room, play room, half bath, laundry area, and excellent storage. A dug-out basement addition significantly expands the usable living space and offers flexibility for recreation, fitness, work, or guests. Outdoor living is equally impressive. The lush, landscaped backyard features mature trees, plantings, a brick paver patio, and multiple areas for dining, entertaining, and play. The private yard creates a true retreat in the heart of the neighborhood. The open green space across the way allows for panoramic views from anywhere in the house and can be used for overflow play space all year round! An exceptional opportunity in one of Evanston's most desirable locations, surrounded by green space and just moments from the lakefront, trains, parks, schools, restaurants, and shops.
