The “Castle on Ridge”: Iconic Evanston Mansion with Ballroom
A rare opportunity to acquire the magnificent and iconic “Castle on Ridge” for the first time in nearly 50 years. Designed by noted architect Stephen A. Jennings and built in 1896, this grand residence is beautifully positioned on nearly an acre of land.
The 8,600 square foot, 18-room mansion welcomes you with a grand entry. It boasts high ceilings, detailed millwork, large windows flooding the home with natural light, and three functional staircases.
The spectacular three-story staircase soaring above original Stained Glass Windows and a Pipe Organ façade is the focal point of the house.
The flexible interior features 11 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms, an updated custom kitchen with a sitting room, a formal dining room, a huge family room, and a third-floor Ballroom!
The extensive grounds include a full Coach House, a 4-car garage, and expansive yards. The Coach House offers a significant bonus: a currently rented 2nd-floor two-bedroom apartment providing excellent income. This Evanston landmark offers endless possibilities for a grand lifestyle.
