New Life for a Lakefront Victorian

During the late 19^th century, many classic homes were built in Evanston close to the Lake Michigan shoreline in order to take advantage of the natural air conditioning the lake provides.  A young couple recently purchased one such home which had seen better days and retained our firm to design/build a renovation of the entire house, restoring its original grandeur.  Scope of work included a sumptuous new Kitchen, all new Baths, restoration of an original window on the front façade removed in the 1920’s, new Main Staircase, new Library/Study, new Dining Room overlooking the huge Family Room, new 2^nd Floor Bedrooms including a Master Suite,  3rd Floor Home Office and restoration of the large screened Front Porch.  The finished product blends the historical character of the original house with 21^st century upgrades to create a magnificent residence for a new family.
