Property Description

Situated on a rare corner 0.41-acre lot in the prestigious Ridge Historic District of Evanston, with front and side door facing Greenleaf. This extraordinary George W. Maher-designed Prairie School residence presents a unique opportunity to own a significant piece of architectural history. Offering approximately 5,400 square feet above grade, the home beautifully blends historic character with thoughtful modern updates. . Maher's signature emphasis on light, flow, and unity of space is evident throughout. Soaring 11-foot ceilings, expansive windows, and graciously scaled rooms create an airy, light-filled environment. At the heart of the home, a stunning library with a fireplace and custom mahogany built-ins seamlessly connects the living and dining rooms, creating ideal spaces for both everyday living and entertaining. Lovingly maintained by the same family for more than 62 years, the residence has been carefully updated while preserving its architectural integrity. The first floor features a grand foyer with a dramatic staircase, a newly renovated powder room, and a spacious sun-filled kitchen with soapstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, and butler's pantry. Direct access to the rear porch and deck makes outdoor entertaining effortless. The expansive dining room opens to a sunroom and a spectacular 900-square-foot basketweave brick terrace rebuilt in 2023, framed by Maher's original cast-concrete balusters. French doors from the living room further extend the home's connection to its beautifully landscaped grounds. Accessible by both formal and rear staircases, the second floor offers five bedrooms, including a flexible primary suite arrangement with an adjoining room ideal as a dressing room, sitting room, office, or nursery. Additional features include two updated baths, second-floor laundry, a sauna, and a bright sun porch. The third floor provides exceptional versatility with two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a spacious recreation, studio, yoga, or retreat room. Additional highlights include a three-car garage with storage, a roof replaced in 2010, and ample guest parking. Ideally located in the estate section of Evanston's Ridge Historic District, the home is just minutes from downtown shopping, dining, parks, schools, cultural attractions, and Lake Michigan. A truly remarkable residence that combines architectural significance, timeless elegance, and modern livability. Agent owned.

MY BLOGS

Vacant Land Scams are REAL

My Recent Experience with an Unauthorised Land Seller About 6 months ago, I received an email from (let's call him) Charlie. A "nothing out of the ordinary" email from a common (and mildly validating) charlie.....@hotmail stating: "I have owned the lot for many years, but a couple of years ago I moved from Illinois to California, and I would like to sell the lot. If you could please provide me with a market valuation, that would be great. We are looking to make a quick decision on this. Thank you, Charlie"

THE FRONT PORCH SWING

Oh, the memories. I remember my girls spending countless hours swinging front to back and side to side, hanging out with the neighborhood kids, splashing with the water hose, or crafting top-secret plans with their imaginations. It was awesome. How times have changed. With my two youngest girls slowly nearing college graduation and my older girls working hard in their careers, the days of simple life are taken over by group texts and long-distance daily check-ins. It's just not the same.

less is more, unless, it's for less.

Each day, I'd get my MLS home showing sheets ready, the electronic key card that opens lock-boxes, get dressed with minutes turning into seconds frantically starring at the time ticking away. All ready but just need to ...find ....one matching sock.
