About This Home
As of July 2020Once upon a time, a long time ago, this must have been an amazing queen of a showplace...nestled proudly on a double corner lot in the heart of in town Elwood. Massive wrap around porch and the charm and style of before the turn of the century (the one in 1900, not 2000). Now, sadly...she's fallen on hard times and is in disrepair. There is some potential for greatness here, depending on your willingness and your wallet. It might be too far gone to restore...and if that's the case, it's a 150x150 lot that could probably have two new homes built (subject to verification with Village). Main level has 9' ceilings, wide woodwork, some pocket doors, formal living and dining, parlor (or 1st floor bedroom) with walk in closet, extra large kitchen and the remnants of a 3/4 bath. 2nd floor has 4 bedrooms of size, with original pine floors, a half bath between two of the bedrooms, and another partially gutted bath with sink and toilet and space for a freestanding tub or shower. Electric has been updated to 200 amp with breakers, and there is hot water heat. Foundation and roof both need extensive repair, stairs to 2nd floor have loose railing and stairs to basement are steep and difficult. There is a 23x32 detached garage that is in decent shape - it's a bit of Jackson Township/Elwood history itself: built out of ammo boxes from the Joliet Army Arsenal. No walking on the property or viewing home without an appointment and children are not allowed on the premises. This is an as-is estate sale and personal property items may not be removed for closing. Cash buyers only. Seller is motivated and will seriously consider all offers.
