Architecturally significant Queen Anne/Prairie Style, Evanston Landmark Home offered for sale for the first time in more than 40 years! Designed in 1895 by architect Robert C. Spencer, a friend, colleague, and, in the early 1890's, an officemate of Frank Lloyd Wright. This home combines many features of the Queen Anne period along with several motifs that would later become prominent in the Prairie School of architecture. Most identifiable are the horizontal lines of the two porches, the decorative elements on the house that face them; and the ORIGINAL diamond-shaped leaded glass windows. All of the design elements come together to give this distinctive home its great curb appeal and, its unique place in Evanston history. This three-story residence boasts wonderfully large rooms and an interesting floor plan which includes six bedrooms, two full baths, two half baths, leaded glass windows, four fireplaces (even one in the kitchen!), a spacious foyer, bay windows, French doors, and hardwood floors. Within the past two years, a new roof, new furnace and new hot water heater have all been added to the home. Located in the Evanston Ridge Historic District among many other gracious historic homes, the property has large front & back yards and includes a two-car detached garage. Just a few blocks to downtown Evanston's many attractions, including fine restaurants and shopping, Northwestern University, the beautiful lakefront and parks along Lake Michigan, and easy transportation to Chicago with the METRA and the EL (Purple Line Rapid Transit). A special property ready for updating and your personal touches. Home will be sold in AS IS condition.
