Open to the family room, this inviting space creates the effortless everyday living and entertaining you are looking for. You'll love the many windows bringing in lots of natural light and the easy access to the outdoor patio and yard. Graciously scaled rooms provide wonderful spaces for hosting, including an elegant formal dining room with a distinctive barrel ceiling and original plaster moldings, and an expansive living room centered around a handsome fireplace. A gorgeous foyer, private home office with custom built-ins, year-round sunroom filled with natural light and overlooking the serene, park-like grounds, mudroom, and spacious laundry room complete the first floor. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite features an enormous walk-in closet/dressing room and a spa-like bath with double sinks, whirlpool tub, and steam shower. Four additional bedrooms-including two with en-suite baths-offer generous proportions and excellent built-out closet space. The third-floor great room provides incredible flexibility as a second family room, home theater, game room, or recreation space and includes an additional bedroom with an en-suite bath. The thoughtfully renovated lower level features a remarkable room with 10-foot ceilings, two window wells, and a fireplace-an ideal setting for a home gym, theater, recreation room, or studio. The exterior is equally impressive. Professionally designed landscaping surrounds a bluestone patio with firepit, an expansive yard with plenty of room for play, and a welcoming front patio perfect for entertaining. Through the porte-cochere, you'll find a two-car garage, additional parking for several cars, and a rare two-bedroom, one-bath coach house-ideal for guests, an au pair, home office, studio, or potential rental income. Built in 1911 for Swedish Ambassador Oscar Haugen and designed by architect Augustus Nyden, this Evanston Preservation Award-winning home showcases extraordinary original details, including beautiful crown moldings, grand fireplaces, and a striking shadowbox staircase. Meticulously cared for and extensively improved, the home seamlessly incorporates modern updates while honoring its architectural heritage, including a new clay tile roof installed as part of the extensive renovation. All of this is set in a prestigious neighborhood within walking distance of Lighthouse Beach, Northwestern University, Wilmette Harbor, Gillson Park, and Orrington School, with the dining, shopping, and cultural amenities of both Evanston and Wilmette close by plus convenient access to Chicago via Sheridan Road and the Purple Line EL. A truly exceptional Evanston property offering history, architectural distinction, modern luxury, and spectacular grounds. Don't miss this rare opportunity. Love where you live!
