The neighborhood
About the building
Bright, spacious, and full of character, this second-floor duplex offers roughly 1,500 square feet of living space in one of Evanston's most walkable… neighborhoods. With 2 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, in-unit laundry, central heat/AC throughout and a private primary suite that spans the entire top floor, it lives larger than most 2-bedrooms in the area.
The open main level is filled with natural light from a wall of bay windows and glass French doors, framed by soaring 9.5-foot ceilings and wide-plank flooring throughout. The renovated kitchen is the heart of the home: crisp white shaker cabinetry, stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher and gas range, subway tile backsplash, dark quartz-style countertops, and a peninsula with breakfast-bar seating that opens right into the living space, ideal for entertaining or working from home.
Upstairs, the entire floor is dedicated to a light-drenched primary retreat. Skylights and a beautiful arched window pour in sunshine, dramatic sloped ceilings add architectural charm, and generous walk-in closet space keeps everything organized. A second full bathroom with a glass-door shower serves the upper level, so you're never sharing a single bath.
Additional highlights:
- 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms
- ~1,500 sq ft top-floor duplex layout
- In-unit washer and dryer

Unbeatable Evanston location
This home puts the best of Evanston at your doorstep. You're just a couple of blocks from Dewey Elementary School, and an easy walk east to downtown Evanston, where you'll find restaurants, cafes, shops, Whole Foods, and the movie theater. Commuting is simple with the Davis Street Metra (Union Pacific North Line) and the CTA Purple Line both within walking distance, putting you in downtown Chicago in about 25 minutes by train.
Families will appreciate being roughly a mile from Evanston Township High School (ETHS), while students, staff, and Northwestern-affiliated renters are just a short bike ride from Northwestern University and the Lake Michigan lakefront and beaches.
Spacious layout, updated finishes, two full baths, in-unit laundry, and a location that's walkable to schools, shops, and transit. This one checks every box. Schedule your showing today.
