    What's special

    Wood-burning fireplaceLush mature ivyMature landscapingTasteful prairie style windowsConveniently located half bathLeafy viewsComfortable bedrooms
    Welcome to 1930 Bennett Ave, a charming brick home on a dead end street built 1939 and first time on market in 50 years. This 1300 sq ft 3 bed+sunroom+lower level family room, 1.5 bath home perfectly blends vintage character and privacy yet fantastic accessibility. Situated at the end of a quiet dead-end street, the setting feels like your own private enclave - neighbors often gather or children play in the street - and you have a secluded backyard with mature landscaping and lush mature ivy encasing the home. Yet you're just steps from Harry Hibbert Porter Park (0.1 mi) and minutes from all the conveniences Evanston has to offer with Golf Ave out your front door. The interior of the home features hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and a light-filled 4-season room addition with walls of tasteful prairie style windows bringing outdoors in that expands your living space year-round. A formal living room and separate dining area between the kitchen and the 4-season room allow for cozy yet efficient use of space to enjoy on your own, host guests, or expand to whatever life needs. Plus a conveniently located half bath off of the kitchen. Further expand your space with a small but functional lower level which includes a family room or den, along with utility room, laundry and storage. Upstairs you'll find three comfortable bedrooms - each with its own character and versatility that share a full hall bath. The primary bedroom has ample built in vintage storage for charm and function. But wait, I want the privacy of a dead end street, yet the house is so close to Golf Ave, should we see this, will it be noisy or feel exposed? ALL windows on both levels face east and west, filling the home with natural light and leafy views while keeping the interior peacefully insulated from nearby Golf Road. The attached garage is on the south portion of the house, and all brick exterior so all you feel inside the house is the mature landscaping and dead end street, yet still have the benefit of the accessibility when you want it when you venture out. The primary and living areas overlook the lush, secluded backyard, complete with mature ivy, fencing on the north and west sides, and plenty of privacy for relaxation or entertaining. The 1-car garage adds convenience and function for the lot, while the location offers unbeatable accessibility - quick access to downtown Evanston, local hospitals and top schools, Old Orchard shopping, the highway, The Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park and McCormick Ave accessibility and walking trails and access to the lake - all while enjoying the calm, tucked-away feel of your own quiet street. But this house is old...enjoy lots of lovingly maintained features: Roof 2013, New windows throughout entire house and porch 2011, Refrigerator 2018, Stove 2014, Microwave 2017, Dishwasher 2024, Furnace zone 1 (for whole house) 2012, Furnace zone 2 (for 4 season room) 2018 furnace, A/C 2012, Water heater 2021, Washer 2014, Dryer 2006, Generac Generator 2014, 2 sump pumps.
