Property Description

Welcome to 1720 Asbury Avenue, a timeless Queen Anne Victorian built in 1885 that beautifully blends architectural grandeur with thoughtful modern updates. Located on a generous lot in one of Evanston's most sought-after neighborhoods, this home offers six bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, and a detached two-bedroom coach house-perfect for multi-generational living, rental income, or private guest accommodations. A gracious screened-in front porch invites you into the home's grand foyer, where an artisan-crafted staircase, original hardwood floors, and soaring ceilings immediately impress. Historic charm radiates throughout, from the intricate moldings to the decorative fireplaces and the enchanting turret sitting area in the light-filled living room. The recently renovated kitchen is the heart of the home-offering custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (including a separate ice maker), quartz countertops, a spacious island, and a built-in breakfast nook that overlooks the backyard. Just off the kitchen, you'll find a custom mudroom with built-in storage, a large laundry room, and powder room. The second floor features a serene primary suite with a fireplace and en-suite bath, as well as three additional spacious bedrooms and a renovated shared bathroom with heated floors. The third floor includes two more bedrooms, a full bath, and a cozy sitting area-perfect for guests, teens, or a creative workspace.The detached coach house adds exceptional value and flexibility with two bedrooms above a two-car garage, offering an abundance of storage and options for guest quarters, rental income, or a private home office. The fenced backyard is a true oasis, featuring a charming patio, mature landscaping, and a bocce court-ideal for entertaining, playing, or relaxing in a tranquil outdoor setting. All of this is located just moments from downtown Evanston's vibrant shops, restaurants, and cafes, as well as Northwestern University, Lake Michigan beaches, parks, and public transportation (CTA & Metra). Less than 30 minutes to Loop and Wrigley!
