Description:

Welcome to the Robert and Mina Worstall house, a meticulously preserved and maintained Dwight Perkins landmark in the heart of northwest Evanston. The home graces the cover of Prairie Metropolis: Chicago the birth of a New American House and is a Prairie-Style gem with Arts and Crafts influences. It exemplifies the meeting of architectural history and modern comforts. Step in the inviting entry and the space opens to the living room's 16-foot, barrel-vaulted ceiling and stunning woodwork with a fireplace arch that echoes the ceiling. To the west of the living room resides a sunroom while five steps down to the east is a dining room capable of seating parties of four to 12. The built-in bookcases and china cabinets retain their original shellac finishes, as does the beamed oak ceiling. The south-facing French doors fill the space with light and lead to the backyard patio. To the north, the architect-designed kitchen with adjacent powder room blend vintage charm with up-to-date amenities.
