Open to the family room, this inviting space creates the effortless everyday living and entertaining you are looking for.

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.
