Description

Live at the beach - without paying North Shore beachfront prices. This is a rare opportunity to own true lakefront living in Evanston-where the beach is not nearby, but just outside your door. Positioned in the highly sought-after southern leg of Tower Court, a distinctive castle-like building from the 1920's, this vintage 1-bedroom offers Lake Michigan views from both north and south exposures, filling the home with light, breezes off the lake, and water views all day long. From your front door, you can be on the sand or in the water in under two minutes. Morning swims, paddle boarding, sunset walks - this is an everyday lifestyle, not a weekend destination. Inside, the home blends classic character with thoughtful updates: Hardwood floors throughout. Bright, freshly painted interiors with high ceilings. Granite countertops in kitchen and bath. Newer stainless steel appliances. The oversized basement storage locker easily accommodates beach chairs, paddleboards, and kayaks, making spontaneous lake days effortless. Laundry is conveniently located just one flight down, and permit-required street parking is readily available, with garage and surface lot rental options nearby. This is a rare opportunity to secure a true lakefront lifestyle property in Evanston.
