Lovely Frame Colonial Just Steps from Lighthouse Beach! This home has the character of a Michigan beach house. It's all light and windows combined with Shaker simplicity. Children walk across the street to Orrington Elementary School and stroll a half block in the other direction to the lakefront. From the spacious front porch, you often hear Lake Michigan breaking on the rocks. Entering the living room, you notice an open, inviting floor plan. The room's centerpiece is the stone-faced mantle of its wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen has 42' cherry cabinets, granite countertops and Mexican tile floor. There are two original built-in hutches! A separate dining room and heated sun porch complete the first floor. Light streams through the southern and eastern windows of a dramatic, second-floor lofted office. This designer workspace and the primary bedroom share vaulted ceilings. Two more bedrooms with a balcony and an updated bathroom complete the upper floor. Along the side of the home is the private European-style side patio. The front yard is graced with century old hardwoods. A small backyard provides two off-street parking spaces. This extraordinary NE Evanston location is literally a three-minute stroll to the dunes and Lighthouse Beach. The CTA Purple Line and 201 bus line, Northwestern University and Evanston Hospital are nearby.
