About the Listing 3145 - 47602,128720
For nearly 150 years, 1220 Maple Avenue has been a distinguished presence on one of Evanston's most picturesque streets. Built in 1883 and located within the Ridge Historic District, this remarkable Victorian home has been lovingly cared for by just two families throughout its history-a rare testament to its enduring charm and craftsmanship. Rich in architectural detail, the home retains many of its original features, including massive pocket doors crafted from bird's-eye maple on one side and cherry on the other, a stately staircase, intricately carved fireplace mantels, and grand built-in buffets. These preserved details showcase the exceptional artistry of a bygone era while contributing to the home's timeless sophistication. The residence offers five bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, four fireplaces, and expansive unfinished attic and basement spaces, providing abundant opportunities for thoughtful restoration, expansion, or customization. Every room reflects the character and authenticity that historic home enthusiasts seek. Outside, a spacious backyard leads to an extraordinary two-story, four-stall barn-a rare surviving structure that predates the automobile and now offers unique possibilities for use as a garage, workshop, studio, or additional storage. After nearly a century and a half of history and stewardship, this humble yet magnificent Victorian is ready to welcome its third owner-someone who will appreciate its architectural heritage, honor its legacy, and continue its story for generations to come.
