About This Home

As of March 2025

Charming home for sale located within 1 mile to historic downtown Elgin, IL! This is a unique opportunity to own a well-cared for property. Move right in or take time to update. This 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath home has much to offer. A one-car detached garage with a longer concrete driveway allows for extra parking. As you enter the home, the foyer leads into an open living room/parlor room combination. A formal dining room is accented with a wall of windows. As you head towards the rear of the residence, you will see a 1/2 bath and then a nice and bright u-shaped kitchen layout with decent countertop space and plenty of cabinets for storage. One of the best features of the home is the step-down rear sunroom/breakfast area connected to the kitchen. A wide staircase takes you up to the 2nd level where you will find an ample-sized main bedroom with walk-in closet, a second bedroom also with a walk-in closet, and a full hall bath. The basement is partially finished, with brand new carpet just installed February 17th. Enjoy an open recreation room, full bath, laundry room, and an extra room for an office or workshop. The backyard is fully fenced. The roof was replaced in 2024, Central A/C added in 2022, New Boiler added in 2024. Windows are vinyl, not original. Estate sale, conveyed "as is."
