Experience a taste of European living style in this truly charming two bedroom, one bath top floor condo with tree top views. The combination of architectural detail and minimalist decor are a delight, and the location cannot be better! Built in 1923 by architect Samuel Crowen, the building was named the Hearthstone. Oak floors, brick walls and a lovely wood burning fireplace are a few of the original features coupled with all new windows throughout the unit. The entry foyer with a huge closet welcomes you into the freshly painted rooms with natural sunlight from three exposures.The living room enjoys three new windows with morning light and the fireplace with a new liner in 2019. The primary bedroom faces east, and the second bedroom with a wall of built-in shelves can easily become a home office or remain a bedroom. The hall bath features a newer tiled floor and wainscoating on the walls. Two additional closets- one a walk in- in the bedroom hallway add plenty of storage. The separate dining room is perfect for entertaining and leads into the white cabinet kitchen with granite counters and stainless steel appliances (refrigerator and dishwasher new in 2018). Laundry and storage in the basement via the back enclosed staircase. Ideal location within walking distance of downtown Evanston, the Metra, the El, shops and restaurants along Dempster St., and the lakefront.
