A great example of the Prairie School design in this beautiful home located just steps from downtown Evanston and DEWEY school! The masterfully-designed interior by the office of Frank Lloyd Wright features an intimate front door foyer with wide stairs leading to the main level. Prepare to be amazed at the expansive open floor plan that features lots of warm wood trim, wood capped half walls, gorgeous brick fireplace, and windows galore. The floor plan creates a sense of interconnectivity and intimacy all at the same time by the use of small changes in floor levels. The living room features built-in bookcases, the large formal dining has built-in china cabinets, the sitting area features built-in benches that surround the fireplace, the large step-down office is encased with windows, and the heated front porch is a winter delight with windows across the entire front of the house. The eat-in kitchen is bright and cheery with stainless steel appliances, Corian counters, slate flooring, and a lovely walk-in pantry. The back courtyard is surrounded by a charming brick wall. The second level features four bedrooms, two baths, an office, and a sleeping porch. The fifth bedroom and bath are located on the third floor. A terrific urban/suburban location within walking distance to the Metra, CTA, downtown, and the lake. This is a great home with soothing, Prairie-style charm!
