Enjoy lake breezes and awesome sunrises from this impressive Greek Revival with coach house built in 1903, offering timeless elegance in an exceptional setting. The home is situated on one of Evanston's most prestigious lakefront streets, overlooking beautiful Dawes Park and Arrington Lagoon, just moments from Northwestern University and downtown Evanston. Rich in architectural character, it showcases exquisite original details, including a grand formal foyer surrounded by leaded glass windows, a sweeping bridal staircase, and extraordinary woodwork throughout. The expansive living room is anchored by a stately fireplace with original built-ins and enhanced by classic period details. The formal dining room is equally impressive, featuring paneled walls, a beamed ceiling and a dramatic fireplace adorned with handcrafted antique Delft tiles. The adjacent, generously sized eat-in kitchen offers a modern footprint.

Two powder rooms complete the main level. The second floor features a spacious primary suite with a spa-inspired bath, excellent storage, and private den/office. Two additional bedrooms have en-suite, updated baths. The third floor has walkouts from French doors to enjoy the lake, and offers two more bedrooms, two baths, and a large game room with a bar-perfect for entertaining or extended family living. The lower level has radiant heat in the flooring in the bathroom and storage and includes a full kitchen, media room, office, game area, full bath, fireplace, and abundant storage. A convenient, beautifully tiled and heated private walkway provides interior access to the three-car garage. The coach house is 1120 sq. ft. and has a large living room with a vaulted ceiling, 2 beds/2 baths + office - a perfect spot for guests, multi-generational living or a coveted rental! A once in a generation opportunity to own one of Evanston's Premier Lakefront residences.
