Today, I spent all my time exploring an historic limestone mansion at 2829 Sheridan Place in Evanston, which was built in 1911.

Known as the Edward Kirk Warren home, this vintage gem, located about a block north from the Lighthouse Beach,  is approximately 6,200 square-feet (though it appears larger) with 16 rooms, including five bedrooms and 4.2 baths.  There is a sliver of a Lake Michigan view (probably better views during winter) and is located on a quiet residential street just off of Sheridan Road in the Northeast Evanston Historic District.

Oak floors, stairs, wainscoting and trim flood this three-level  Gothic Tudoresque home.  There are three stone fireplaces, a ballroom, a grand staircase, a solarium, a separate servant’s wing with a butler’s staircase and an elevator. Vintage features are everywhere from stained-glass windows, crown mouldings and an exquisite vaulted ceiling with a carved honeycombed pattern in the living room.

The lot is irregular with about 26,125 square-feet of land. The bathrooms and kitchen are dated and need some updating, although some of the wall tile looks great. Price tag-$2,500,000.
