Description
Amazing, one-of-a-kind home for rent in Evanston. The first floor has a great open kitchen with everything you need, a large dining room and living room, half bath = full of sunshine. The second floor has 3 bedrooms (one has a standing/sitting desk that can double as a work space) plus 2 full bathrooms. The 3rd floor has an office/guest room or bedroom combo in a gorgeous light filled "tree house" space. There is laundry and a TV room/workout space/art studio in the basement and a large, fenced-in yard with a private parking space in front of garage. You'll love living here! The location can't be beat -- it's quiet and also 10 min walking from town. The streets are tree-lined and street parking is easy, plus you'll get parking spots in the driveway (2). The architect, Myron Hunt, shared an office with Frank Lloyd Wright and was known for his Shingle style homes. He built 19 in Evanston and this one was his second one, built in 1889. It's a piece of art. The floors are newly refinished and the bathrooms updated.
