1316 Maple Ave Apt A1, Evanston, IL 60201

Welcome to this special home in a National Landmark building. Filled with light from three exposures, this home offers all the amenities of today's modern lifestyle while still retaining the charm of a 1920's beauty. From the thoughtful updates to the architectural details such as archways, crown and picture mouldings, and hardwood floors throughout there is much to love in this expansive space of approximately 2000 sq ft. The Parisian style great room accommodates both a separate living and dining area allowing all to enjoy the east facing windows, a working wood burning fireplace, and wall sconce lighting for ambiance. Highlighted by a custom window seat bench in front of west facing windows and French doors open to the kitchen, the formal dining room space is currently used as a family room, allowing the chef to remain part of the action while entertaining. The stylish kitchen features an expansive island for prep work or casual dining, abundant storage, quartz countertops, Sub Zero refrigerator, Thermador oven/range with vent hood, and a wine refrigerator. Recent kitchen improvements: pendant lights over the island, upgraded undercabinet and recessed lighting, new subway tile backsplash, lower cabinets outfitted with custom pullout shelves, and all cabinets painted. Finishing off the kitchen is a small desk area with a south view over the courtyard. The primary bedroom suite features recently upgraded custom organized closets plus an updated bathroom with new double vanity sink and hardware, light fixtures, and an in-cabinet plug in station for personal appliances. The second bedroom now used as a home office has extensive shelving ideal for the book lover or the collector in addition to newly built-in cabinetry in a former alcove. The third bedroom is ensuite. Across the hallway is the updated half bath with new vanity, toilet and light fixture. Here you will also find the in-unit laundry. Other creature comforts: ceiling fans added to all bedrooms; central air in the primary bedroom and two mini-split units in the foyer and family room to keep the rest of the home cool come summer; dimmable light fixtures, additional outlets in the living room and kitchen. Pets are welcome. Feel free to leave the car in your deeded garage as you take advantage of the convenient location, just a few blocks to downtown Evanston and the lakefront.
