This incredibly charming home is deceiving...so much space, so much character - truly a rare find. Situated on a block that has one of (if not the) longest running block parties in Evanston, 2500 Thayer welcomes you from the screened front porch and beyond. The proper living room with a bay window and wood burning fireplace leads to the charming dining room. Built-ins and crown molding throughout both rooms - the architectural detail truly enhances each room. The dining room leads to both the eat-in kitchen but also has French doors to the second floor or first floor spaces (family room/bath/bedroom). For those looking for main level living - there are two generous rooms plus a full bath and built-in storage. Upstairs you will find a large open space plus three bedrooms and an office (or small bedroom), full bathroom and endless potential for those wanting to renovate. The basement is unfinished but dry and has laundry, a walk out stairway, great project space or future possibilites. A newer rear deck with room for a table overlooks the carefully planned perennial landscaping and wildflowers surrounding the home for seasonal enjoyment. Gardeners will appreciate the corner lot. Enjoy this practical home with its vintage detail (including a 1955 Chambers stove) as it is, or renovate it for unlimited potential. Regardless, this is a special home looking for it's next longtime owner.
