Cottage Style Evanston

NW Evanston has many “Cottage Style” homes, built in the early 20^th century.  An academic couple purchased one such residence, unchanged since the 1950’s, and hired our firm to renovate and expand the existing structure while respecting its original character.  Improvements included a new Addition at the rear of the house with a grand Kitchen, Mud Room & Laundry.  The original low Basement was excavated down to provide a Guest Suite and Rec Room in the lower level.  A first floor Master Suite plus two second floor Guest Bedrooms complete the work.  The finished product combines 21^st Century technology with a respect for the Shingle Style Cottage character of the original home.
