520 Sheridan Rd #B, Evanston, IL 60202

Not your typical garden unit. Vintage 1924 red brick courtyard building in Evanston, IL. Condo in GREAT neighborhood. 5 minute walk to private beach, 10 minute walk to Metra and Purple Line trains. Tons of trees. Several nearby parks. Easy, permit-free street parking (I never have a problem parking very close to my rear door). Very well-lit corner garden unit with 12 large, updated wooden windows. Approximately 1000sf. Spacious concept with high ceilings. Feels more like a half garden, half first floor unit, as it's tucked into a small hill and SE side rises to almost ground level (Zero closed-in feeling that some garden units possess!). No bad views in the space- living room and office look into a landscaped courtyard (very lush in summer). Kitchen gets bright southern exposure. Bedrooms receive eastern exposure and tons of AM light (you can see a tiny sliver of the lake from the master bedroom). Hardwood floors. Decorative fireplace with built in shelves. Plenty of 1920's vintage trim and doors. Lots of storage (Each bedroom has a small closet, there is a small room and closet off the kitchen, a large storage room under the staircase, and a separate basement storage unit). Eat-in kitchen with stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, oven and microwave, updated double sink/faucet, newer soft-close cabinets (plenty of cabinet space), and quartz countertop. Bath has upgraded sink/vanity/faucet, recent tile floor, and recent fiberglass tub. Since purchase: Refinished floors, drywall repair, new tile, custom paint, doors rehung with upgraded antique hardware, refinished mahogany entrance door with new glass, new outlets/switches/covers, new fans, new light fixtures with dimmer switches, new custom-made ceiling radiator covers, new bathroom and kitchen faucets, new vintage "tin" kitchen and bath backsplash, high-end water purification system, other misc. plumbing and electrical repairs and upgrades. $259 monthly HOA includes heat and garbage service (this unit maintains great, evenly disbursed heat in winter, and coolness in summer). Taxes about $2k yearly. No upcoming special assessments. Reserves at $72k. Common laundry. Bike room. Gym room. Concrete floors make each level quiet. Pet friendly, no restrictions. Can rent out after one year of ownership. Some furnishings available for sale with unit if desired. For sale by owner, licensed IL real estate agent.
