01About this home

2955 Colfax presents an updated, British-inspired 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Georgian, professionally designed with layered patterns, rich texture, and timeless charm that create a distinct experience in every room. Classic architecture meets thoughtful, designer-curated interiors, offering a home that feels both refined and effortlessly welcoming. A double-door entry opens to a bright and spacious first floor featuring a formal dining room, an inviting living room anchored by a reclaimed Chicago brick fireplace, a private office with custom built-in cabinetry, and a sun-filled family room with direct access to the backyard. The updated kitchen has been professionally designed to balance function and character, seamlessly supporting everyday living and entertaining. Additional highlights include a built-in mudroom with custom cabinetry and a charming farmhouse Dutch door leading to the driveway. The second floor offers all three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including an expanded primary suite complete with a walk-in closet and a spa-like primary bath designed as a true retreat, featuring marble flooring and countertops. A partially finished basement provides flexible additional living space along with generous storage. Throughout the home, designer lighting, luxury plumbing fixtures, and elevated material selections reflect a cohesive, professionally designed vision. Additional improvements include SpacePak on the first and second floors, new engineered hardwood floors throughout, updated electrical, and a newer Crown boiler. Outside, the generous backyard features a bluestone patio and ample green space for play, gatherings, or quiet outdoor moments. Unbeatable location: walk to Central Street shops, dining, and Metra, as well as multiple parks. Convenient access to the Metra and "L" train, Evanston Golf Club, Lake Michigan, and Northwestern University.
