"Now here you go again, you say you want your freedom. Well, who am I to keep you down?" - Fleetwood Mac. Welcome to the debut of this cherished Southeast Evanston home, ready to fulfill another mid-century lover's dreams. This is your chance to own an inspiring piece of nostalgia with a contemporary twist. In the last several years, this home underwent a transformation. Wall-to-wall carpeting was torn out and replaced with sleek vinyl flooring. The kitchen was entirely re-imagined, featuring brand-new countertops, a stylish subway tile backsplash, updated hand-crafted cabinet doors, stainless steel appliances, and the addition of a new bar with overhead shelving. Every room has been refreshed with a new coat of paint, giving the space a warm and vibrant feel, and the balcony, your personal outdoor oasis, was repainted in 2021. This corner unit is located in an elevator building and offers the perfect blend of nostalgia, convenience, and flow. Upon entering, you'll feel instantly welcomed by a wide formal entryway and oversized coat closet. As you make your way to the heart of the home, you'll find the wide-open living room, flooded with soft light, featuring sliding doors that lead to a large balcony, a perfect setting to nurture your plants, escape into a great book, or sip morning coffee. Your charming, custom kitchen makes an ideal backdrop to recreate beloved family recipes and you can look forward to hosting friends in the adjacent dining space as you unwind with favorite records. Down the hall, you'll find your oversized primary bedroom which boasts dual closets and an authentic 'Clair de Lune blue' en-suite bath. A second king-sized bedroom and retro 'Venetian Pink' full bath complete the space. Additional amenities include coin laundry, a large storage locker, and a designated parking space. This home is situated in an incredible location and near every convenience, including; Main Street (La Principal and Trattoria for dinner, Cultivate for plants and pottery, Lucky Platter for brunch), Dempster Street (Pour for coffee and cocktails, The Mexican Shop for gifts and other finds, Frio Gelato for dessert), public transit (the purple line and metra), parks, several grocery stores (Trader Joes and Jewel), and a short stroll to South Blvd Beach. Don't miss out on the opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind magical home and make it your own!
