Listing information updated 8/27/2025 at 7:43pm

This elegant French Colonial in sought-after Northwest Evanston, is much larger than the exterior suggests. Built in 1970 by Otto Schulz, this residence features an ideal layout including the spacious kitchen that opens up to a main-level family room, overlooking the rear brick-paver patio. Recent updates include a fresh, neutral decor provided by expert painters, plus roof cleaning, yard restoration, some new lighting, and more! You can have the floors refinished and then move right-in and prepare for your next project: kitchen, baths, flooring, etc. ------ The second level features a large landing and a huge closet that would be the perfect spot to relocate the laundry from the first floor mudroom and up to the second level near the bedrooms. The huge second bedroom has direct access to a hall bathroom with dual, side-by-side sinks and a separate bidet. The primary bathroom also has a separate bidet. All of the original doors and millwork remain in place with fine details and uniformity. The living room wood-burning fireplace surround was just painted and offers the ideal setting for your collectibles, books & more. The kitchen with granite counters and a double-oven, could easily be updated with new appliances and new hardware for the oak cabinets. The finished basement has a third-full bathroom. With newer windows and other updates, only the fun projects are left for a new buyer to create and enjoy. ------ Set on a wide, corner lot at the entrance of Martha Lane, this home features a convenient, attached two-car garage and a large, fenced-in back yard with a brick-paver patio. Enjoy the best of NW Evanston with super easy access to expressways, major shopping, amazing recreational opportunities, Northwestern University and more!
