About the building
Full of vintage character and natural light, this first-floor unit offers a bright, comfortable layout in one of Evanston's most walkable… neighborhoods. With a true bedroom, a separate office/den, a full bathroom, and in-unit laundry, it lives smarter than a standard one-bedroom and is ideal for anyone who works from home or wants a dedicated flex space.
The main living area is the standout: a wall of classic bay windows floods the room with sunshine, soaring 9.5-foot ceilings add a sense of openness, and warm hardwood floors run throughout. Rich, modern accent walls give the space a current, move-in-ready feel, and the open flow into the kitchen makes it easy to relax or entertain.
The kitchen is bright and functional, with stainless steel appliances, generous wood cabinetry, a tiled counter with a peninsula for casual seating, and big windows that keep it sunny all day. A comfortable bedroom sits just off the main space with great light and closet space, while the separate office/den is the perfect spot for a home office, guest room, or nursery. The in-unit washer and dryer are tucked into the flex room for everyday convenience, and a full bathroom completes the layout.
