About 1013 Simpson Street

Historic character, thoughtful updates, and exceptional Evanston walkability come together in this light-filled home east of Ridge, directly across from Firefighter's Park. Major improvements include central HVAC with heat pump (2026), newer roof (2020), updated electrical and plumbing, newer kitchen appliances (2025), chimney work (2023), lighting, and home-automation/network wiring. Inside, soaring 10-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, original moldings, and beautifully preserved natural wood trim showcase the home's historic character. The main level offers spacious living and dining rooms, two bedrooms, and a full guest bathroom. Upstairs features refinished hardwood floors, skylights, the primary suite, updated slate bath with RH fixtures, a large tandem room, and flexible den ideal for an office, dressing room, or creative space. A screened porch overlooks the private backyard, and the basement with exterior access provides laundry, workshop space, and substantial storage. Just minutes from Northwestern University, CTA and Metra stations, downtown Evanston, and the lakefront, this home is especially well suited for buyers who value historic architecture, substantial improvements, and a highly walkable location.
