Home Details for 1235 Maple Avenue

Enjoy the quintessential Evanston lifestyle in this elegant home surrounded by lush greenery and historic architecture--all within blocks of the vibrant Dempster Street business district. Many years of updating, improving and polishing by the long-term owners make for a seamless blend of vintage character and modern livability. The curb appeal begins with the stunning mature landscaping featuring year-round interest and a sprinkler irrigation system (2023) to keep things looking good. Next up is the dreamy wrap-around porch with room to relax, entertain or just say hey to the neighbors passing by. (The porch was rebuilt and restored by the current owners) On the first floor, a gracious foyer leads to the dining room with leaded glass windows and to the large double parlor living room with updated gas fireplace. The timeless chef's kitchen was remodeled in 2021 with a cozy window seat, eating area and lovely windows overlooking the backyard. For the practical realities of daily life, there is a pretty mudroom and laundry area. On the second floor are four bedrooms, once of which is currently being used as a comfortable den. The primary bedroom has its own bath, as well as an adjoining sunroom/office. On the third floor is yet another bathroom and bedroom, as well as an open space that could work as a play area, game room, office or family room. Out back, a multi-level deck built in 2020 flows into the idyllic, professionally landscaped backyard featuring flowering trees and perennials and bluestone hardscaping. The two-car garage was built in 2015, the house was repainted in 2020. Check back for more details, photos, floorplan and a list of the many system updates, all of which will be available by the last week of April. Showings beginning May 8.
