This peaceful location is perfect for easy access to downtown Evanston, trains, beaches, parks, Northwestern University, and Dewey Elementary School. ------ LIVE! WORK! STUDY! PLAY! at this absolutely perfect abode for the current times. Everyone can all be together in a massive, open area, comprised of a living area, dining area, kitchen, and family room with a fireplace.

There are eucalyptus hardwood floors throughout, 6" exterior walls packed with extra insulation, mature trees for shade, and native plantings for the front landscaping. The specialized house systems include a whole-house water filter, radiant floor heat in the basement + floor heat for all bathrooms, and heat pumps fed by geothermal energy, which provides for minimal energy usage to create a perfectly comfortable, year-round indoor climate. This 14-year-old, cedar & stucco home was built with loving care and masterfully designed with 4,460 sq. ft. above grade, plus 2,010 sq. ft. on the lower level.
