Welcome to The Myron Hunt House, one of Evanston's architectural treasures.

Built in 1889 and designed by renowned architect Myron Hunt, this beautifully preserved historic home offers a rare opportunity to experience the charm of a landmark residence while enjoying all the comforts of modern living.

Whether you're visiting Northwestern University, celebrating a graduation, attending a wedding, reuniting with family, or exploring Chicago's North Shore, you'll find a home that invites everyone to slow down, gather together, and truly enjoy their time away.
Located in Evanston's Ridge Historic District, you're just a short walk from Northwestern University, downtown Evanston, Lake Michigan, local cafés and restaurants, Metra, and the CTA. Chicago is easily accessible by train while the peaceful character of Evanston is right outside your door.
