New to Market: 3620 Evergreen Ln, Plymouth
One owner since 1976. This is the first time it's ever been for sale.
Skylights and big windows looking into mature trees. Two living spaces, a formal dining room, and a welcoming eat-in kitchen on the main level. A spa room the owners built that could be a four-season porch or an office in the trees.
My favorite detail: both levels walk out to the backyard and two big patios. Coffee upstairs, a party downstairs, no one in each other's way.
5 beds, 4 baths, 3,758 sq ft on a third of an acre. Minutes from French Regional Park and Medicine Lake. $549,900.
Chicago Marathon 2026
Seven marathons, and my best friend Max and I have run every one together. We don't even live in the same state anymore. We keep signing up.
This one was hot, so I adjusted my expectations early and ran the race the day gave me. 3:11. Really happy with it.
We ran for Best Buddies, which builds friendships for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Felt right for two guys who've been running together this long. With the help of family and friends, we raised over $4,400.
The Town That Almost Wasn't Plymouth
In 1858, Plymouth voted to change its name to Medicine Lake, after the lake the Dakota called Mde Wakan, or Spirit Lake. The county signed off. A year and a half later, everyone was quietly calling it Plymouth again.
Nobody wrote down why. The lake kept its name.
