The incredibly functional kitchen, at the heart of the home, features granite counters, modern appliances (microwave is 4 years old), and abundant cabinetry flowing into a versatile dining area ideal for casual dinners or entertaining. The spacious living room is wrapped in glass and filled with natural light, creating the perfect spot for relaxing with a book, hosting friends, or just enjoying the energy of the city of Evanston. The spacious primary suite offers a large walk-in closet and a full ensuite bath with walk-in shower and granite-topped vanity.
