Designed and built by renowned architect, David Hovey, in 1984, this award-winning Landmark Optima, Bauhaus derived, complex has been designated as Architecturally Significant. It is in a great Evanston location close to Lake Michigan, parks, shops, including groceries, and restaurants on Main Street and Chicago Avenue, CTA, Metra and, for Northwestern employees, the Intercampus shuttle between Evanston and downtown Chicago. This amazing 3-story townhouse has only had one owner since turning condo in 1995. A spacious living room/dining room, parquet floor, combination with wood-burning fireplace and an eat-in kitchen on the 1st floor opens to a lovely private, fenced patio to enjoy the outdoors. The 2nd floor primary bedroom, which can double as an office, has a private powder room. The 2nd bedroom is used as a studio by the current owner, who is an artist. A full bath is in hallway as is a closet with in-unit laundry. The lower level has a large family room that can be used as additional living space. From there a private indoor entrance gives access to the parking garage with a space directly outside the door, which because of its proximity will be easy to install an outlet for an electric car. The unit is provided with ample indoor storage spaces and the building has a separate storage area for bicycles. Unit is all-electric with both baseboard and, more recently, heat pump heating which functions as central AC as well. Quite recently all windows and window moldings have been replaced and the kitchen has been partly remodeled. The building is very well maintained by Board and Management. Rentals can be permitted per approval from the Board.
