About This Home

As of October 2025

Take a look at this historic Elburn gem! From the covered front porch to the enclosed back yard sunroom, this farmhouse charmer has so much to love. Original millwork, curved stairway, tall ceilings, crystal door knobs, narrow plank and wide plank hardwood floors, and stained glass transom windows. The interior space is sure to surprise and impress. Large living room and sitting area covered in natural light, office or 4th bedroom with glass french doors, formal dining room, half bath, remodeled kitchen (2021) with white shaker cabinets, quartz counters, new stainless appliances, vinyl flooring, and laundry all on the main level. Upstairs houses 3 generous sized bedrooms, a full bath, and great closet storage. The fully fenced yard (2022) with garden and newer paver patio (2022) is two full parcels (1105110003 and 1105110026), over 1/2 an acre in total. Perfect space to park a camper, expand for storage, or simply enjoy the privacy. Some newer Pella windows, furnace 2019, AC 2014, roof approx 10 years, Thoroseal basement walls 2019, toilets and fiberglass shower 2022/23, and so much more. Steps from downtown Elburn's restaurants, coffee shops, vintage markets, live music, and the Metra. So much to love about this charming home and neighborhood!
