About This Home

1319 Forest Avenue

From the moment you arrive at the wrought iron gate of 1319, the experience begins, unfolding through the front door into a dramatic floor-to-ceiling glass-encased vestibule. At the heart of the home is a spectacular newly designed chef's kitchen that seamlessly combines beauty and functionality. A stunning oversized porcelain-topped Amish-crafted island serves as the centerpiece, surrounded by a suite of luxury appliances including Thermador, Wolf, Sub-Zero, Miele, Dacor, and Fisher & Paykel. Thoughtful details such as a walk-in pantry, wraparound window seating, coffered ceilings, and herringbone hardwood flooring elevate the space even further. The second level preserves the soul of the original home with rich rosewood-paneled walls and ceilings, offering warmth and authenticity rarely found today. Three ensuite bedrooms provide exceptional comfort, including a tranquil primary suite with sweeping views of the fountain and pool. Designed with entertaining in mind, the lower level delivers an entirely unique experience. A recreation room with original stone fireplace and wide-plank flooring sets the stage for gathering, while the custom bunk room-with four built-in bunks featuring integrated lighting, storage, and charging stations-creates an unforgettable guest retreat. The spa-inspired locker room with dual showers, double vanities, custom lockers, and striking circular tile detail was thoughtfully designed for effortless indoor-outdoor living after long summer days by the pool. Beyond the interiors, the grounds rival those of a private resort. A magnificent circular pool surrounded by tiered natural stone terraces becomes the focal point for entertaining and relaxation, offering a setting unlike anything else on the North Shore. This is more than a home-it is an experience. Rich in history, architectural pedigree, and thoughtful design, this one-of-a-kind residence offers a rare opportunity to own one of Evanston's most distinctive and unforgettable properties.
