Nestled in Evanston's Oakton Historical District, this Dutch Colonial charmer has so much to offer following its 2013 expansion. Stepping into the living room from the entry foyer, a wall of windows on three sides provides graceful views of the tree-lined street. While the wood burning fireplace with brick surround is a focal point of the living room and had its interior replaced in 2017, it is being conveyed in AS IS condition. A graceful archway highlights the transition to the dining room which is then separated from the adjacent family room by a set of French doors. The family room shares a pass-through window with breakfast bar to the expanded and updated kitchen. There you will appreciate the extensive storage space available with the solid wood cabinets, expansive quartz countertops, SS appliances, and three exposures to the outside. The kitchen also has direct access to the covered deck overlooking the yard. The deck boasts a ceiling fan so you can sit out in comfort even on hot summer days. The first floor is rounded out with a laundry closet for front loading stackable washer/dryer, a powder room, and a mud room type space opposite the side entrance. Upstairs the primary suite spans the front width of the house, featuring two closets and a newer bathroom with a marble tile walk-in shower. The other three bedrooms have been recently painted and share an updated hall bathroom. Other features of the home: hardwood floors throughout first and second floors; updated windows and treatments; ceiling fans in all bedrooms; an unfinished basement ready for your personal touch; open rear yard with a raised garden bed waiting for a late summer crop or fall flowers. Other improvements: 2015 space pac a/c and roof; 2025 new hot water heater & entire sidewalk along east side of house from street to alley replaced. One car garage with storage shed is also conveyed in AS IS condition. A parking pad accommodating two cars, adjacent to the garage, is accessible from the rear alley. Harvard Terrace is known for its annual block party. Location is near schools, parks, South Blvd EL stop and has easy access to Ridge Ave for a drive to downtown Evanston and or into Chicago. Make this your new home.
