2336 Grey

Evanston, IL 60201

2336 Grey Avenue has been home to just three families since 1917, a quiet testament to how much people love living here. The brick exterior, green shutters, and slate walkway draw you in from the street, and once inside it is easy to understand why people stay. Step through the front door and the original archways and hardwood floors set a tone that is warm and welcoming. The rainbow windows, original to the home, are known for the beautiful quality of light they bring in throughout the day. The living room with its wood-burning fireplace flows through an arch into a sun-drenched sunroom, perfect for morning coffee or an evening read. The formal dining room with wainscoting connects to the kitchen, and three well-proportioned bedrooms upstairs are bright, quiet, and full of personality. A freshly updated basement rounds out the home with flexible bonus space for an office, recreation, or storage. Outside, a brick patio, fully fenced backyard, detached 2-car garage, and old-growth trees that turn spectacular in fall. For buyers looking to expand, two sets of architectural plans are already drawn up adding up to two bedrooms, additional baths, and expanded kitchen and living space. Four blocks to Central Street's independent shops, restaurants, and coffee roasters. Five minutes to the Metra. The lakefront, parks, and Northwestern campus all within easy reach. The kind of home and neighborhood that people find very hard to leave.
