Charming 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom split-level home in premier northwest Evanston location. A red front door welcomes you and opens to a foyer with original hardwood floors and a hall closet. The living room features crown molding, recessed lighting, a gas fireplace, and a large picture window. The adjoining dining room continues the crown molding and hardwood floors, with a window overlooking the side yard. The kitchen was fully renovated in 2012 with cherry wood cabinetry to the ceiling, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, recessed lighting, and a stainless-steel appliance suite and hardwood floors, plus a built-in bench overlooking the side yard. Off the kitchen, the former breezeway was converted in 2012 into a year-round den with dedicated heating and air conditioning, continuous hardwood flooring, and sliding doors opening to a deck and the side yard. The den also connects to the attached one-car garage. Upstairs, the primary bedroom includes a double closet, and the second bedroom offers two closets flanking a built-in bench. A full bathroom with a tub/shower combination and tile surround serves both rooms. The lower-level recreation room features original wood paneling, a built-in bar with an ice maker and refrigerator, a built-in television nook with flanking shelving, an electric fireplace, and a second full bathroom. Outside, mature, professionally maintained landscaping - long known locally as Olive's Garden - wraps the property with multiple sitting areas, a dedicated dining area, and a private fire pit, creating a series of outdoor rooms from the back door to the garage and around to the front. System updates include a 2021 roof replacement, a 200-amp electrical panel with wiring updated in 2012, copper plumbing installed in 2000, a furnace & A/C condenser from 2007, and a 2017 water heater. Walk to Central Street's shops and restaurants and to downtown Wilmette's train station, shops, and restaurants; enjoy easy access to Lake Michigan and Northwestern University. A rare find in one of Evanston's most walkable pockets.
