1124 Sheridan Road

1124 Sheridan is a rare architect designed SE Evanston contemporary with unique features and at almost 5000 sq ft, on an 83' x 151' lot is spacious yet intimate. The dramatic 12' x 15' front entry with full ceiling sky-light, opens to a view of the unique interior atrium with decorative trees and waterfall/pool. Because of the circular floor plan, this Zen-like garden can be viewed from most first floor rooms. The living room has built-ins with a two-sided fireplace which is shared with the adjoining library/music room and is one step away from the sizeable family room with a wall of built-ins and gas fireplace. It's large windows overlook the landscaped backyard with blue stone patio, and it easily accesses the lower-level rec room, with full bath and immense storage. The sunny cook's kitchen has an island that easily seats 4-6, two pantries and a breakfast room. The second floor can be accessed by two stairways and is home to a large primary, also with a fireplace, his and her closets and a bath with dual sinks, separate shower and large tub. Two other large bedrooms make up the second floor, both ensuite and all three bedrooms have cathedral ceilings, walk-in closets and built-ins. The third level is a private sanctuary perfect for guests, teens or an office, again with a fireplace and full bath. An enclosed walkway from the house accesses a dog run and a rare three car garage with an above garage office/den/studio with fireplace, 1/2 bath, balcony and private entrance. Great location - just steps to Lake Michigan and the Lee Street Beach, El and Metra trains, Main Street and Chicago Avenue grocers, restaurants, coffee shops and entertainment venues. Close to Northwestern and Downtown Evanston. Easy driving commute to the city too. A bold and one-of-a-kind home - not a cookie cutter!
