About This Home
Step back in time and discover the timeless beauty of this 1940 solid stone and brick home, featuring a distinctive turret that gives the home its storybook character and unforgettable curb appeal. Lovingly cared for by just three owners throughout its history, this special home has been cherished for generations. Located in Elgin's sought-after Gold Coast neighborhood, this French Norman-style residence offers the perfect blend of historic character, quality craftsmanship, and a beautiful setting. Spread across a unique five-level floor plan, the home offers 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Original hardwood floors and original doors with glass doorknobs preserve the home's authentic 1940s character throughout. Both bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled (2021 and 2023) with custom tile work, new fixtures, quartz countertops, porcelain tile, and heated floors. The finished basement offers a warm, inviting retreat with new carpeting and a custom stone fireplace with a ventless gas insert-ideal for cozy evenings. A charming sun room and a cedar closet add character and everyday livability. Major systems and mechanicals have been thoughtfully updated, including a new roof, gutters, and siding (2024), a new water heater (2021), new garage doors and openers (2022), and Pella windows throughout. Jellyfish LED lighting adds year-round curb appeal after dark. Outside, the professionally landscaped, private, fenced backyard is an entertainer's dream, complete with a double deck-perfect for morning coffee, summer gatherings, or relaxing evenings surrounded by mature landscaping. The property backs up to forest preserve with views of the Fox River in the winter months, offering a rare sense of privacy and natural beauty. A two-car attached garage completes the package. From its solid stone and brick construction to its unique architectural details, this is more than a house-it's a piece of Elgin history waiting for its next chapter. A rare opportunity to own a truly special home in one of Elgin's most beautiful neighborhoods.
