Property Description

Prime Southeast Evanston: A Masterpiece of History and Refined Living. Own a piece of architectural history in Prime Southeast Evanston, just steps from Lake Michigan, Elliot Park, and Lee Street Beach. Built in 1894 by renowned architects Pond & Pond, this Queen Anne home was originally owned by prominent Judge Elliott Anthony, who walked in Abraham Lincoln's funeral procession. The breathtaking centerpiece is a two-story beamed cathedral great room - originally a fireproof library built after the Great Chicago Fire - boasting soaring Palladian windows and a massive fireplace. The residence perfectly balances preserved Arts & Crafts woodwork with modern updates, featuring a high-capacity butler's pantry for entertaining, newly renovated second-floor bathrooms, and an expansive third-floor retreat, perfect for a studio or guest suite. Overlooking Stockham Place Park, the property includes a private, fenced backyard with a bluestone patio and a detached two-car garage. Situated in the highly sought-after Lincoln Elementary School, Nichols Middle School, and Evanston Township High School districts, this move-in-ready masterpiece offers an unmatched coastal suburban lifestyle near the Main Street shopping district.
