Nestled along one of Evanston's most beautiful streets, this 5 BR 5.1 BA timeless gem emerges onto the market after a quarter-century of cherished ownership. Welcome to 2864 Sheridan Place, where classic French Colonial architecture meets modern sophistication in an oasis just steps away from Lake Michigan. Spanning almost half an acre, this private haven blends tradition with contemporary comfort. Upon entering the grand foyer, sunlight dances through the windows. Straight ahead an inviting sun-filled library with bookshelves and windows on 3 sides beckons, while to your left, the elegant living room and to the right the large dining room awaits. The heart of the home lies beyond, where an updated chef's kitchen overlooking the pool and terrace is equipped with top-of-the-line Thermador, Sub Zero, and Bosch appliances. The 45"x110" island provides an ideal space for cooking and socializing. Adjacent to the kitchen is a sun lit family room with french doors to the bluestone fire pit, an entertainer's dream. A butler's pantry with wine fridge and slate floored mud room offer additional spaces for storage. Step through any of the three sets of French doors, and you'll discover a breathtaking outdoor sanctuary. A professionally landscaped garden, complete with an underground sprinkling system, sets the stage for al fresco gatherings. A blue stone terrace, patio, fire pit, and inviting heated in-ground pool are the perfect backdrop for sun-drenched days and starlit evenings, all while being caressed by refreshing lake breezes. Ascending to the second floor, three generously sized ensuite bedrooms all with updated baths await, each offering comfort and privacy. An adjoining office/playroom provides versatility for work or play. Venture up to the third floor, where two additional spacious bedrooms and a full bath offer a tree top retreat for guests, teens, or a quiet home office. The lower level has a finished basement, wet bar, full bath, storage space, laundry and changing rooms for poolside convenience. Completing this remarkable property is a detached heated garage with a coach house featuring a studio apartment, offering flexibility for guests, office or additional income potential. With its unparalleled charm, meticulous updates, and prime location, 2864 Sheridan Place stands as a testament to Evanston's allure. Walking distance to Metra, Purple Line, NU, Central Street, Restaurants, Shopping, Lighthouse Beach, Canal Shores Golf Course, Gillson Park and Sheridan Shore Yacht Club.
