About This Home
Vintage Foursquare home in the Elgin Historic District. Lots of original details throughout, such as hardwood floors, windows, built-in cabinets, beveled leaded glass, trim and doors. There are three bedrooms upstairs with a newer full bath, complete with a remote controlled bidet. There are two parlors, a separate dining room, a powder room and a bigger kitchen on the first floor, with a stove and refrigerator that is two years old. A full basement has a laundry room with a new high end washer and dryer, and workrooms. The HVAC is six years old and is a high efficiency unit. The water heater is also six years old. Newer plumbing and electric, including a new 200 amp breaker box. A one car garage and a smaller backyard has the potential to be a patio/garden oasis. Being in the Historic District makes a homeowner eligible for city and neighborhood grant money to improve exterior items.
