The fenced backyard is a true oasis, featuring a charming patio, mature landscaping, and a bocce court-ideal for entertaining, playing, or relaxing in a tranquil outdoor setting. All of this is located just moments from downtown Evanston's vibrant shops, restaurants, and cafes, as well as Northwestern University, Lake Michigan beaches, parks, and public transportation (CTA & Metra).
