Rare Evanston Luxury Rental, available just in time for summer on the North Shore! Take in all that Evanston has to offer...close to parks, shops, restaurants, Northwestern University, libraries, Metra and El, and pristine beaches. Experience a timeless classic built in 1899 for notable Chancellor Livingston Jenks and designed by Myron Hunt. This distinctive home was built to impress with its expansive circular driveway, leaded glass windows, signature, beaded rift sawn oak woodwork and exquisite craftsmanship throughout. Perched at the peak of Ridge, this home offers truly unique views of the surrounding park and fields of Larimar park. The useful front circular drive provides guest parking. The first floor boasts a massive family room, living room with marble fireplace, powder room, pantry, kitchen and dining area with glass doors providing access to the back porch and large paver patio. Stunning kitchen pleases any chef or entertainer with separate, built-in refrigerator and freezer, dual dishwashers, 48" range, oversized island and concealed walk-in pantry. On the main bedroom level, you will find 3 luxurious en-suite bedrooms with walk-in closets and private baths all nestled amidst the greenery of the surrounding trees. The primary bath offers every luxury with (2) 6' vanities, Victoria & Albert soaking tub and decadent steam shower with massaging showerhead, rain can and body sprays. Also on this level, you will find the laundry room, complete with utility sink. Continue to the top floor, to the 2 additional bedrooms and bathroom perfect...for guests or an office. Travel to the sunny, walkout lower level, and you will find the rec room, office, storage area, and a massive mudroom. Thoughtful design has been paired with premium mechanicals to create an exceptional home in every aspect. The home was made complete in 2021 with new exterior paint, a new roof, and a new 2.5 garage with EV charging capability.
