Open House at 2439 Cowper, Evanston, IL

By
Real Estate Agent with Jameson Sotheby's International Realty

OPEN HOUSE, EVANSTON, IL

I will be sitting an Open House today at 2439 Cowper, Evanston, IL at this darling... storybook cottage.  It's just as charming as it appears, but also larger than it looks.  It's located in an area of Evanston where there have been recent tear-downs and sales of homes that are in the high 800's and 900's, and even a couple of low millions.

This home is only a 2 bedroom, 1 bath home... (a great alternative to living in a condo), but it has character and charm to spare.  The living room has a fantastic stone fireplace, and a lovely bay window overlooking the large front porch.  The kitchen has been nicely upgraded, and boasts a Spanish tile counters, white appliances and a breakfast bar for at least 2 maybe 3 people.

The dining room is separate, and large enough to seat 6-8 guests.  The master bedroom is a large 16x9, and has a walk-in closet.  And to give you a little more living space, the home has a lovely family room off the back of the house, from where you can sit and watch the kids (or the dog) playing in the fenced yard between the house and the 2-car detached garage.

Part of the home's charms include interior stucco walls, hardwood flooring, high ceilings, archways and built-ins... it also has a full-footprint basement for storage, laundry and mechanicals.

In other words, cute, cute, cute!  And listed for ONLY $339,000... great entrance into the Willard and Haven school districts.

I'll be sitting there today from 1:00 - 3:00... stop by and visit me.

Home is where the hearth is.

Anita - I was sitting an open house in the same general area, and the same general price range last week, and I got to meet lots and lots of wonderful babies... My guess is I'll get to meet them again today... that'll be a good day.

Sheldon - you da man!

What a cute place...this is my idea of a great home, but at the beach in Laguna....priced considerable higher. Good luck, I'm sure you'll get plenty of traffic.

Alan,

Great home and great price for the area you are in.  That would be perfect for the young single professional, young couple just starting out, or anyone.  Reminds me of all the little bungalows in my area very nice.  Hope you get a buyer and write an offer today!

Karen - oooh... wouldn't that make a great beach house?!

Jim - thanks.

Glenn - perfect first home, or downsizer...

Jenna - it does, doesn't it?

Larry - ah, perfect for a young couple, as their first home, instead of a condo.

Alan,

This home is lovely.  Love the front porch, the fireplace is great and the bay window next to it - I could definitely spend some time there with a cozy fire roaring! Good luck!

Home is where the hearth is.

Patsy - it didn't go as well as I'd hoped... we only had about six groups through... but all six groups were energetic and enthusiastic about the home... one couple stayed about 45 minutes...

... and as you know, it only takes ONE buyer!
