New Life for a Lakefront Victorian

During the late 19th 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 2nd 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 21st century upgrades to create a magnificent residence for a new family.
