Discover timeless elegance at 225 Hamilton in Southeast Evanston, just steps from Lake Michigan, beaches, schools, trains, restaurants, and shops. Recently updated, this enchanting home blends classic architectural details with modern comforts, creating a space that feels both gracious and livable. The welcoming foyer, anchored by a brick fireplace, connects easily to every room on the main level.
