About this home
Designed by architect David Hovey, this award-winning Landmark Optima building, the first of its kind, features a tri-level townhouse located within the Evanston Lakeshore National Register Historic District, just one block from Lake Michigan. One of the few properties in Southeast Evanston offering a sunny fenced private yard (15x21), this light-filled three-level residence has direct access to a heated underground garage with one parking space. The open main level offers a spacious living and dining area with a wood-burning fireplace and a brand-new, thoughtfully designed kitchen featuring honed quartzite countertops, soft-close cabinetry, and all-new Frigidaire Gallery kitchen appliances. Luxury vinyl plank flooring and smart Alexa-enabled lighting add modern comfort, while sliding doors open directly to the private outdoor space, ideal for entertaining and pet-friendly living. Generous two-bedroom layout on the upper level with a primary suite, private powder room, full hall bath, in-unit laundry, and serene treetop views through expansive windows. The finished lower level provides additional living space with a bonus room ideal for office, guest space, gym, or media room, plus rare direct garage access. All-electric and energy-efficient, the home features a heat-pump HVAC system and energy-efficient windows. Rentals permitted. Pet-friendly community. Ideally located steps from Lake Michigan beaches, parks, shops, dining, CTA, Metra, and the Northwestern shuttle.
