Pleasing Prairie Perfection on Spring, in Elgin's Gold Coast. Wow! a 3/4 bedroom prairie-style home with details galore. Beautiful wood trim, floors, and built-ins, all original. Lights fixtures that are either original or appropriate prairie style, including a Steuben fixture in the dining room. On the main floor there is a living room with a wood-burning fireplace, flanked by two stained glass windows and built-in cabinets. A bench seat is located in a bay window. Enter thru the original French doors to the dining room, which has a coffered ceiling and a showcase Steuben light fixture. A swing door separates the dining room from the cozy kitchen, with the original ceramic floor and freshly painted cabinets and walls. The 1950's era refrigerator might not have enough space for today's needs, but it is a classic. Besides, right downstairs there is an additional refrigerator and freezer to accommodate your food. The first floor powder room with the original ceramic tile, has just been freshened up. Going up the beautiful oak staircase you can take a seat on the bench seat, and look up behind to view a large, prairie-influenced art window. At the top of the stairs is a curved balustrade and a built-in linen cabinet. The floors on this level are all original maple. One of the three bedrooms has two separate closets. Another bedroom has a wood-burning fireplace, flanked by leaded glass windows. The full 9'x8' bathroom has the original bathtub and tile. The last room could be a fourth bedroom or an office. There is an attic, accessible by a walk-up stair, that has lots of storage space. The basement is dry and clean, as it has been waterproofed.
