325 Dodge Evanston, IL 60202

Environmentally friendly, EPA Energy Star Silver Rated Home in Great South West Evanston Location! This thoughtfully upgraded jumbo split-level home with a full sub-basement offers comfort and sustainability. Step into a spacious sun-filled living and dining area featuring oak hardwood floors and solar tubes that bring natural light throughout the main level. The home features a new cold weather heat pump efficient to minus 4 degrees F (2022). Twelve photo-voltaic (PV) solar panels (2019) provide most of the electricity needed and three solar-thermal hot water panels heat most of the water used. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and a bath with granite countertops and double vanity. The lower level adds a large family room with a built-in kitchenette, a fourth bedroom (or office), and a full bath – ideal for guests, work-from-home, or multi-generational living. Enjoy the outdoors with a “Trex” brand deck, paver brick walkways, and lush gardens surrounding the home which feature native plants, a rain garden, and an organic vegetable garden. These gardens meet National Wildlife Federation’s certification as a Natural Wildlife Habitat. The home is kept comfortable in summer and winter with extra high R-26 attic insulation, an automatic thermostat-controlled attic fan, a whole house fan, and Marvin and Pella windows. Luxuriant grape vines shade the home to keep the hot summer sun from heating the exterior bricks and provide an additional layer of insulation. The home offers a 2 1/2-car detached garage as well as the only driveway on the block. Located near schools, the Levy Community Center, and James Park, this home blends eco-conscious features with modern convenience. An Evanston gem!
