Charming and expanded 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath center-entry Colonial located on a picturesque tree-lined street in desirable NW Evanston. The welcoming foyer separates the main living areas-on the south side, you'll find a spacious living room with a wood-burning fireplace that flows into a newly added family room overlooking the expansive backyard. On the north side, a generous dining room with built-in corner china cabinets connects to a beautifully renovated kitchen featuring white cabinetry, honed granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, classic white subway tile, and herringbone-patterned tile flooring. The kitchen leads to a functional "mudroom" area with access to the backyard. A stylishly updated full bathroom with designer tile and a walk-in shower completes the first floor, offering flexible space ideal for guests or an in-law suite. The finished basement includes a recreation area, ample storage, a half bath, and a laundry room. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms, including a newly built fourth bedroom with serene eastern views, a primary suite with a private bath, a hall bathroom, and a large bedroom with stairs leading up to a private third-floor retreat or home office. Outside, the deep backyard offers endless possibilities for landscaping and outdoor living, and is complemented by a two-car garage. This well-maintained home includes numerous thoughtful updates and is ideally situated near Central Street shops, Willard Elementary, parks, and public transportation.
