About This Home

As of September 2025

This cute-as-a-button 2-bedroom, 1-bath charmer is packed with character and classic appeal. From the moment you step onto the huge enclosed front porch (perfect for sipping coffee, storing Amazon packages, or both), you'll feel right at home. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout, original touches that give this home that beloved "they just don't make 'em like this anymore" vibe, and a layout that's cozy without being cramped. The fully fenced backyard is ready for summer BBQs, gardening, or a four-legged friend's daily zoomies. There's also a detached 1.5-car garage offering plenty of space for your car plus bonus room for tools, toys, or your ongoing love-hate relationship with DIY projects. Need more space? The huge attic is bursting with potential-it could easily be transformed into a spacious master bedroom, a home office, guest retreat, or even the ultimate yoga loft. The possibilities are endless (and surprisingly roomy). A full basement offers tons of potential-man cave, she shed, game room, or the world's most organized storage space. Bring your vision and turn this lower level into something fabulous. Conveniently located near Route 20, I-90, and everything Elgin has to offer, you'll love the blend of old-home charm and unbeatable access. Come see it, fall in love, and make it yours before someone else snatches up this little gem!
