Evanston, Illinois 60202

Spacious, sun-filled 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath apartment with over 1,400 square feet in a 1956 two-unit building in Evanston's coveted Oakton Historic District. Free shared laundry, a large private storage locker, a large fully fenced shared backyard, and easy free street parking round out this well-equipped rental. Beautifully refinished oak floors run throughout an open-concept living and dining room, where a large picture window overlooks the tree-lined street and fills the space with natural light. Three generous bedrooms flex easily into a home office, playroom, or guest room, and a rare half bath adds everyday convenience. The large eat-in kitchen retains its original 1950s cabinetry, tile, and counters, carefully preserved and paired with a dishwasher and updated appliances. The full bath keeps its original tile and full tub. The Oakton Historic District is one of South Evanston's loveliest pockets, known for its historic architecture.
