An extraordinary offering in Evanston's prestigious Lakeshore Historic District, this magnificent six-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath Tudor Revival residence was masterfully designed by Ernest A. Mayo. A grand reception hall introduces the home, where sweeping Tudor-arched openings create a dramatic axial vista spanning the length of the main level, an architectural hallmark of Mayo & Mayo's celebrated "vista beyond" concept. The formal living room is nothing short of breathtaking, defined by richly beamed ceilings, a commanding fireplace clad in narrow Roman brick, and a striking south wall framed by a pointed arch with five exquisite leaded glass windows. Just beyond, a luminous enclosed sunroom offers walls of windows, built-in seating, and seamless access to the front terrace. To the west, a beautifully reimagined three-season porch by Morgante & Wilson features new flooring and a modern accordion glass door that opens to the exceptional rear grounds. The formal dining room is equally impressive, showcasing a second statement fireplace with tile surround, paneled walls, beamed ceilings, and custom geometric art glass windows that echo the home's refined design language. The recently updated chef's kitchen is both sophisticated and functional, centered around a marble island with seating and surrounded by custom white cabinetry, black marble countertops, and a bespoke Italian tile backsplash. High-end appliances, curated lighting, a fully outfitted walk-in pantry, and a discreet work/study nook complete this exceptional space. A serene sitting room tucked beneath the mezzanine level offers a quiet retreat, highlighted by designer hexagonal tile flooring and tranquil views of the lush backyard. The grand staircase, encased in rich oak paneling, ascends to a spectacular mezzanine library, where vaulted ceilings, slender wood beams, and walls of custom bookcases frame an elegant arched expanse of leaded glass windows and doors overlooking the grounds. The second level hosts a luxurious primary suite, featuring a spa-inspired bath with herringbone marble floors, dual pedestal sinks, a soaking tub, and an expansive glass-enclosed shower. The suite is further enhanced by a gas fireplace, abundant natural light, and a professionally designed walk-in closet. Additional accommodations include a guest suite with a spacious ensuite bath, as well as two generously sized bedrooms sharing a beautifully renovated bath. The third floor offers remarkable versatility with two additional bedrooms, two full baths, a whimsical oversized "sleepover" room, and an expansive game room, formerly a grand ballroom, perfect for entertaining on any scale. The lower level has been thoughtfully updated to include a bright laundry room, a fully equipped fitness studio with bamboo flooring, and an exceptional wine cellar and tasting room distinguished by stone walls, barrel-vaulted ceilings, and softly diffused natural light. Ample storage completes the level. Outdoors, the property is equally captivating. A stately natural stone walkway leads to a newly reconstructed brick front terrace spanning the width of the home. A brick driveway with an automatic gate provides access to a custom-designed 2.5-car garage by Morgante & Wilson, seamlessly integrated with the home's architectural character. The backyard is a private oasis designed for elevated entertaining, featuring a natural stone patio, a fully appointed outdoor kitchen with grill, pizza oven, and refrigeration, generous lounge areas, a hot tub, and professionally landscaped grounds with irrigation. Ideally situated just moments from Lake Michigan, this residence offers easy access to Dempster Street Beach, local boutiques, dining, and the "L," with downtown Chicago a convenient 25-30 minute drive. Impeccably maintained and thoughtfully enhanced, this distinguished home represents a rare opportunity to own a true architectural legacy.
