Environmentally friendly, EPA Energy Star Silver Rated Home in Great South West Evanston Location! This thoughtfully upgraded jumbo split-level home with a full sub-basement offers comfort and sustainability. Step into a spacious sun-filled living and dining area featuring gleaming hardwood floors and solar tubes that bring natural light throughout the main level. The home features a new cold weather heat pump efficient to minus 4 degrees F (2022). Twelve photo-voltaic (PV) solar panels (2019) provide most of the electricity needed and three solar-thermal hot water panels (2006) heat most of the water used. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and an updated full bathroom. The lower level adds a large family room with a built-in kitchenette, a fourth bedroom (or office), and a full bath - ideal for guests, work-from-home, or multi-generational living. Enjoy the outdoors with a newer "Trex" deck, paver brick walkways, and lush gardens surrounding the house which feature native plants, a rain garden, and an organic vegetable garden. These gardens meet National Wildlife Federation's certification as a Natural Wildlife Habitat. The home is kept comfortable in summer and winter with extra high R-26 attic insulation, an automatic thermostat-controlled attic fan, a whole house fan, and Marvin and Pella windows throughout. Luxuriant grape vines shade the home to keep the hot summer sun from heating the exterior bricks and provide an additional layer of insulation. The home offers a 2 1/2-car detached garage as well as an off-street driveway. Located near schools, the Levy Community Center, and James Park, this home blends eco-conscious features with modern convenience. An Evanston gem!
