Discover this truly special Evanston gem – lovingly owned and cared for by the same family for more than 50 years. Set on the corner of a quiet, tree-lined street, this home blends timeless charm with distinctive architectural details you won’t find in newer builds. From the moment you arrive, you’ll feel the warmth and personality that make this property stand out. Original craftsmanship, and one of a kind features throughout – hardwood floors, built-ins, and unique design touches, celebrate the home’s history and give each room it’s own story to tell. The bright and inviting living room/dining room combo has generous windows that fill the space with natural light. The kitchen features new 2024 appliances. The wrap around windows in the breakfast area make it the perfect spot for casual meals, afternoon coffee, or simply enjoying the natural light all day long. The beautiful family room at the back of the home has a cozy wood burning fireplace and is highlighted by large windows spanning two walls that capture views of the backyard in every season. The main-level bedroom is ideal for a guest suite, home office, or den. Upstairs you’ll find the primary bedroom and two more comfortable bedrooms with plenty of storage and a large walk in closet off the hallway. First floor is equipped with central air conditioning. Both floors feature a full bath. You’ll find more unique features in the partially finished basement including a workroom for projects or hobbies, a vintage photography darkroom, and a dedicated laundry area. The roof of the home was replaced in 2020 and many windows were replaced within the past few years. The two-car garage is accessed from the rear alley providing convenient parking and additional storage – a sought-after amenity in this historic neighborhood. A majestic Purple Ash, planted by the owners more than 50 years ago, is now a stunning centerpiece of the private backyard and a living reminder of the home’s history. This corner home is within close proximity to transit, shopping, dining, parks and the lakefront – making errands, commutes, and weekend outings a breeze. Full of personality, light, and more than five decades of family pride, 347 Florence Ave. is a home that tells a story – and invites you to continue it.
