Charming 2-bedroom, 1 bath ranch home on private street in SW Evanston. This sunny house features a living room with a large picture window and room for two seating areas. Updated eat-in kitchen with abundant wood-cabinets, granite countertops and tile backsplash. The oversized primary bedroom can comfortably fit a king-sized bed-and then some. Spacious second bedroom could also be used as a home office. Full bathroom with vanity, soaking tub/shower and tile floor and tub surround. Ample closet space & hardwood floors throughout! Large attic with bessler stairs-perfect for storage. Separate laundry/utility room. The magical, private backyard has a paver patio, fire pit and separate dog run. Brand new cedar privacy fence wrap-around this organically maintained yard. It is a pollinator's paradise, with mature cup plants, goldenrod, and trumpet vine that attract bumblebees, hummingbirds, and butterflies, alongside a variety of well-maintained perennials. The property also includes multiple fruit trees and a currant bush. Newer, oversized 2 1/2 car garage. Wonderful location: steps from the brand new The AUX commercial hub and Oakton & Main Street shopping malls, in-between two lovely parks: James and Harbert Payne.
