An extraordinary offering in Evanston's prestigious Lakeshore Historic District, this magnificent six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath Tudor Revival residence was masterfully designed by Ernest A. Mayo. A grand reception hall introduces the home, where sweeping Tudor-arched openings create a dramatic axial vista spanning the length of the main level, an architectural hallmark of Mayo & Mayo's celebrated "vista beyond" concept. The formal living room is nothing short of breathtaking, defined by richly beamed ceilings, a commanding fireplace clad in narrow Roman brick, and a striking south wall framed by a pointed arch with five exquisite leaded glass windows. Just beyond, a luminous enclosed sunroom offers walls of windows, built-in seating, and seamless access to the front terrace. To the west, a beautifully reimagined all-season porch by Morgante & Wilson features new flooring and a modern accordion glass door that opens to the exceptional rear grounds. The formal dining room is equally impressive, showcasing a second statement fireplace with tile surround, paneled walls, beamed ceilings, and custom geometric art glass windows that echo the home's refined design language. The recently updated chef's kitchen is both sophisticated and functional, centered around a marble island with seating and surrounded by custom white cabinetry, black marble countertops, and a bespoke Italian tile backsplash. High-end appliances, curated lighting, a fully outfitted walk-in pantry, and a discreet work/study nook complete this exceptional space. A serene sitting room tucked beneath the mezzanine level offers a quiet retreat, highlighted by designer hexagonal tile flooring and tranquil views of the lush backyard. The grand staircase, encased in rich oak paneling, ascends to a spectacular mezzanine library, where vaulted ceilings, slender wood beams, and walls of custom bookcases frame an elegant arched expanse of leaded glass windows and doors overlooking the grounds. The second level hosts a luxurious primary suite, featuring a spa-inspired bath with herringbone marble floors, dual pedestal sinks, a soaking tub, and an expansive glass-enclosed shower. The suite is further enhanced by a gas fireplace, abundant natural light, and a professionally designed walk-in closet. Additional accommodations include a guest suite with a spacious ensuite bath, as well as two generously sized bedrooms sharing a beautifully renovated bath. The third floor offers remarkable versatility with two additional bedrooms, two full baths, a whimsical oversized "sleepover" room, and an expansive game room, formerly a grand ballroom, perfect for entertaining on any scale. The lower level has been thoughtfully updated to include a bright laundry room, a fully equipped fitness studio with bamboo flooring, and an exceptional wine cellar and tasting room distinguished by stone walls, barrel-vaulted ceilings, and softly diffused natural light. Ample storage completes the level. Outdoors, the property is equally captivating. A stately natural stone walkway leads to a newly reconstructed brick front terrace spanning the width of the home. A brick driveway with an automatic gate provides access to a custom-designed 2.5-car garage by Morgante & Wilson, seamlessly integrated with the home's architectural character. The backyard is a private oasis designed for elevated entertaining, featuring a natural stone patio, a fully appointed outdoor kitchen with grill, pizza oven, and refrigeration, generous lounge areas, a hot tub, and professionally landscaped grounds with irrigation. Ideally situated just moments from Lake Michigan, this residence offers easy access to Dempster Street Beach, local boutiques, dining, and the "L," with downtown Chicago a convenient 25-30 minute drive.

$1,629,000

Enjoy the quintessential Evanston lifestyle in this elegant home surrounded by lush greenery and historic architecture--all within blocks of the vibrant Dempster Street business district. Many years of updating, improving and polishing by the long-term owners make for a seamless blend of vintage character and modern livability. The curb appeal begins with the stunning mature landscaping featuring year-round interest and a sprinkler irrigation system (2023) to keep things looking good. Next up is the dreamy wrap-around porch with room to relax, entertain or just say hey to the neighbors passing by. (The porch was rebuilt and restored by the current owners.) On the first floor, a gracious foyer leads to the dining room with leaded glass windows and to the large double parlor living room with updated gas fireplace. (Please note: the size of the chimney and firebox mean that the fireplace cannot be converted to woodburning.) The timeless chef's kitchen was remodeled in 2021 with a cozy window seat, eating area and lovely windows overlooking the backyard. For the practical realities of daily life, there is a pretty mudroom and laundry area. On the second floor are four bedrooms, one of which is currently being used as a comfortable den. The primary bedroom has its own bath, as well as an adjoining sunroom/office. On the third floor is yet another bathroom and bedroom, as well as an open space that could work as a play area, game room, office or family room. Out back, a multi-level deck built in 2020 flows into the idyllic, professionally landscaped backyard featuring flowering trees and perennials and bluestone hardscaping. The two-car garage was built in 2015, the house was repainted in 2020. Finally....this location is so good! It's a quiet street but you can walk to the train, the El, the lake, schools, parks, Trader Joe's, Jewel and world class live shows at Space. Also within blocks: two sushi spots, a gelato shop, a coffee house, two pizza places and fun boutiques.
