EVANSTON VINTAGE GRANDEUR meets charm in iconic Stonleigh Castle! Step into timeless elegance in this sprawling, sun-drenched 2-bedroom vintage condo in one of Evanston's architectural gems. Nestled on a picturesque, tree-lined street, you'll be just blocks from Lake Michigan, Main Street's vibrant shops, Metra, El, NU Shuttle, Lincoln Elementary School, Brother's K, Lucky Platter, Starbucks, and across the street from Snyder Park. From the moment you enter, you'll be swept away by the character and grandeur of this home. The barreled-ceiling foyer makes a dramatic first impression, leading into expansive rooms that showcase oak and maple hardwood floors, graceful, curved archways, and 9-foot ceilings all throughout, that amplify the natural light streaming in from east, south, and west exposures. The living room stuns with a wood-burning fireplace crowned by an original carved stone mantle, a rare, regal centerpiece perfect for cozy evenings or entertaining. Classic details like detailed crown and base moldings marry beautifully with newer double-paned windows (2015) for comfort without compromise. Whether you embrace its rich vintage charm or bring your own vision to life with modern updates (bathroom redone in 2024), it's ready and the thoughtful layout, in-unit laundry (2024), abundant closets and an additional extra exterior storage unit (10 x 8) offer unbeatable livability. Both bedrooms easily accommodate king-sized beds and furniture, while the low monthly HOA covers heat, back-door garbage pickup, professional property management and access to free common area laundry. Set in the highly rated Lincoln Elementary, Nichols Middle, and Evanston Township High School districts, Stonleigh Castle Condos is pet-friendly, and a rare opportunity to own a slice of history in one of Evanston's most walkable and beloved neighborhoods. Elegant. Expansive. Iconic.
