SOLD JUNE, 2010 Better than New Construction: Completely Renovated with Rare Beauty and Elegance
 

1823 Ashland Ave. Evanston
10 Rooms * 4 Bedrooms * 3 Bathrooms * 2-Car Garage

This central Evanston home is absolutely beautiful throughout with special attention to craftsmanship and details. There are lovely design choices and a well-planned layout with large rooms, excellent flow, and abundant light.  The formal and leisure-oriented spaces frame the gorgeous kitchen that is open to the family room and an eating area.  Exquisite detailing, soft colors, decorative openings, crown moldings, and fine finishes present rare beauty and elegance.  The distinctive exterior with maintenance-free, solid-core siding is enhanced by the 'Victorian' flourishes: turrets, bays, peaks, and contrasts.

              Sample Photos                Floor Plans

    • Beautifully finished, bright & airy rooms: hardwood flooring throughout, elegant living & dining rooms, first floor bedroom with French doors to the living area and an adjacent full bathroom.  There are crown moldings, soft colors, abundant recessed lighting, distinctive bay windows, Integrity wood windows, and high ceilings.  All of the materials have been carefully selected for durability and aesthetic appeal, including the wrought-iron balusters for the light-filled staircase, all six-panel solid-core doors, and heavy Bravura door hardware throughout.

    • The sunny family room overlooks the fenced backyard, accessible, through sliding French doors to a large, 23' X 12' rear deck.

    • The carefully designed kitchen features custom, 48" Maple cabinetry with close-assist drawer hinges, granite counter tops, decorative tile back-splash, under-cabinet halogen lighting, and an under-mount stainless steel sink, which allows direct views of the backyard and the ideal location for a large flat-screen.  There is curved-breakfast bar and a separate eating area, plus designer fixtures and KitchenAid stainless steel appliances:

    • The Victorian front porch is large enough for a swing or relaxing chairs and leads to a charming well-lit, entry foyer.  The basement offers excellent storage and flexible options for more living space.  The attic is easily accessible by a pull-down staircase.

    • New systems include: brand new electrical wiring, 200 AMP electrical service with an underground connection, all new plumbing, and new, two separate heating & air conditioning systems.

    • The entirely new exterior features maintenance-free, solid-core Owens-Corning vinyl siding, new shingle roof, new windows, and new contrasting trim/accent pieces.  The rebuilt-turret restores the charm of yesteryear to both the exterior appeal and interior space.  The completely refurbished 2-car garage has an attractive matching exterior and automatic door openers.  There are new sidewalks all-around and a brand new fence.

    • Superb location near Downtown Evanston, Northwestern University, Metra/CTA trains, and easy access to area expressways and major retail centers.  A neighborhood park is located just down the block.
