Limited Inventory got you down? Can't find that Dream Home? Make your dream a reality on one of Central Evanston's most beautiful tree lined streets! This is an incredible 50x178 lot just a couple of blocks from Robert Crown and a 15-minute walk to both the Metra and CTA and all that the Main Commercial District has to offer - many popular restaurants, shops, multiple parks, cafes, and more! Fabulous location! Value is in the land! Investors and rehabbers, bring your general contractor (GC) and your ideas! The home has already been gutted, saving you time and money as you make this into your dream home. The generous square footage accommodates four bedrooms, two baths, and laundry on the 2nd Floor, an additional bedroom/Office, Living Room, Dining room, Kitchen, and Family room on the main level, and whatever our design ideas can imagine in the basement. R3 Zoning and this extra-long lot make two large new construction townhomes an option or the addition of an ADU. The possibilities are endless. Make an appointment today!
