Elegant, spacious, and full of light, 2252 Orrington is a 1915 Colonial sited on a 1/3 acre lot within blocks of Lake Michigan, downtown Evanston, and Northwestern University. Updated and beautifully restored, this stately home features 6+ bedrooms, main floor private office, formal living room, dining room, family room, and a large English eat-in kitchen with island. Wonderful details include original butler's pantry cabinets, plaster moldings, bay windows and the stunning central staircase. The current owners thoughtfully updated 2 bathrooms and added a screened porch off the family room and adjoining spacious deck overlooking the stunning grounds, while leaving plenty of space for a large sport court and 2 car garage. The large third floor features a large recreation room, full bath and 2 bonus rooms. Extra high ceilings in unfinished basement. 2252 Orrington is a very special "forever" home on one of the prettiest streets in Evanston.
