The home you've been waiting for in the heart of Evanston is here! 1317 Elmwood Ave is a fully renovated modern single-family home that was constructed in 2004 but underwent major renovations between 2018 and 2021. Upon arrival, you step into the added enclosed porch (2020) which provides a tranquil space to enjoy the outdoors almost year-round. What a wonderful space to read your book or drink your morning coffee as you look out onto Elmwood, a historic tree-lined street.  The exterior of the home underwent a significant upgrade in 2021 featuring durable cement siding, with a 30-year warranty, ensuring both longevity and aesthetic appeal, and a new A/C, new furnace, and additional water heater were added in 2019.  Inside, you'll discover a spacious layout with five well-appointed bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms, offering a great flow and numerous living spaces to unwind and really make the space feel like home. You will love the abundant large closets throughout which provide so much storage. The basement was elegantly finished in 2019, providing additional space for entertainment or relaxation. The tasteful upgrades include refinished hardwood floors, a chef's kitchen equipped for the most discerning chef in 2017, and custom built-in bookcases and window seats with custom cushions in 2023. The detached two-car garage offers ample space for your vehicles and storage needs, enhancing the convenience of daily living. The fenced-in private backyard is a rare private sanctuary. Close proximity to Dempster El station, Davis Street Metra Station, Trader Joe’s and Jewel, the YMCA, downtown Evanston, Greenwood Beach, and the neighborhood schools.
