AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY - A PRESERVATIONIST'S DELIGHT. Exceptionally Located, Architecturally Significant, East Evanston Landmark Home! Grand Neo-Classical Cross Gable Roofed exterior paired with distinctively Prairie School interior influences and robust, full front fluted columned porch located on a generous 50x164 foot lushly landscaped lot with central sprinkler system. First time on market in 40 years, 1011 Maple Avenue is truly a "FOREVER HOME." Property listing photos taken just prior to sellers' recent relocation. Massive oversized front door opens to mosaic tiled and oak paneled Foyer/Vestibule opening to spacious and welcoming broad Gallery/Entry Hall with adjoining Powder Room. Acres of gleaming natural vintage oak woodwork, replaced oak flooring throughout first floor, original oak flooring on second floor, restored original wood double hung windows and shimmering bronzed hot water heating radiators throughout with central SpacePac air-conditioning and whole house humidification. Expansive Living Room features prairie styled arched brick gas fireplace with flanking oak window storage seating, gracious front bay windows all flooding the space with the natural light. Built-in oak book cases and display nooks for all your missives, curios and collections. Broad oak six paneled pocket doors open to formal Dining Room with decorative oak plate rail and dark oak paneling overlooking expansive private rear garden. Restored butler's pantry transitions to renovated cooking island cherry and stainless kitchen with sliding glass doors opening to columned rear deck and descending to expansive reclaimed vintage brick paver patio and walkways winding to over sized, alley accessed, detached 2 car garage. Restored oak primary staircase gently rises to elevated mezzanine Office/Library Nook and returns to continue to second floor with five family sized Bedrooms and tandem Sleeping Porch. S/W front corner Bedroom features original lustrous green tiled gas fireplace with over mantle window and flanking built-in bookcase. Principal S/E corner Bedroom features walk-in closet and quiet over-sized middle bedroom. Master Suite could easily be created by adding a hallway door to partition off principal S/E Bedroom, principal Hall Bath and 5th Bedroom/Sleeping Porch from other three generously sized 2nd floor Bedrooms and common Hall Bath. Restored valence height picture rails throughout the second floor frame the attention to detail. Rear N/E fifth Bedroom is tandem to glass enclosed Sleeping Porch/Exercise Room overlooking expansive rear yard, a true domestic oasis. Renovated principal hall full bath featuring vintage black and white hexagonal tiling; Mid-century yellow and black second Hall Bath with walk-in shower for extra convenience. Second service staircase connects basement to full unfinished, cross gabled attic, which could provide unrivaled space for future expansive Master Suite? Basement with Mid-Century, knotty pine paneled "Wisconsin Room" provides a durable Family Room, Recreation Room or "Man Cave" space for robust or contemplative activity, and adjoining well organized work room with built-ins allows for easy access exercise and home maintenance activities. All in all, a better long term package would be hard to find. Multiple offers anticipated, bring your best shot !!!
