About This Home

As of July 2021

Step inside this beautiful, spacious Victorian 1890 historic home near METRA, shops, and the river. 3 Bedroom/1.5 Bathroom home that was built as (and can easily convert to) a 4-bed. Partially-finished basement ideal for a rec/family room. This home has retained its original woodwork, archways, stained/leaded windows, & built-ins. 9' ceilings, wood-burning fireplace, ALL large bedrooms (with hardwood under the carpet). Full bathroom on the 2nd level comes with separate shower and beautiful clawfoot tub. Private, fenced yard with multiple porches. Walk up attic with lots of added storage. This is an incredibly unique home, in that the current owner built the large 2-car garage (approx. 5 years ago) with some great workshop customizations including infrared tube heaters, built-in compressor lines and ventilation system. A great opportunity to own a beautiful piece of historic Elgin!
