Settle into a quiet, comfortable home base in Evanston, one mile from Northwestern University. This private one-bedroom guest house sits on the ground floor of a well-kept owner-occupied home, with its own separate entrance and complete privacy. It is ideal for visiting faculty, researchers, and academic families here for a sabbatical or a term appointment. Inside you'll find a comfortable queen bed plus a twin, room-darkening shades for great sleep, a full kitchen, in-unit laundry, fast Wi-Fi, and a bright living area with a smart TV and a dedicated spot to work or write. Step out to a private, fenced backyard with seating. The setting is a peaceful, tree-lined residential street in central Evanston. Free street parking is right out front with no permit needed, and the neighborhood is flat and bike-friendly. By car or bike you are about ten minutes from Northwestern (about 1.5 miles), downtown Evanston and the Davis Street station (Metra and CTA Purple Line into Chicago, about 1.2 miles), and several North Shore hospitals. All utilities and high-speed Wi-Fi are included, and the home is fully furnished with in-unit laundry stocked with supplies, room-darkening shades, and premium linens. Pet friendly: dogs are welcome with prior approval, and the fenced yard is a plus for guests traveling with a pet. Family and baby friendly: the unit is equipped with a pack-n-play, high chair, and baby bath, so visiting families and grandparents can arrive light. We are longtime Evanston residents (my wife is a Northwestern alum) and take pride in providing a calm, welcoming space for longer academic stays. This is a 5-star, Superhost-hosted home.
