About This Home

As of December 2021

Welcome to "The Story Book House" located on one of the most desirable streets in Elgin. Contractor and builder, Mr. Congdon took 3 loving years to build this home for Dr. Ploucher who was an eye surgeon. There's wonderful history attached to this charming home that has only been owned by 4 families ~ now it's your turn! This 2 bedroom, 1 1/2 bathroom home has all of the charm you desire. Great backyard with privacy, arbor and mature trees. We love the charm and convenience of built in dressers, an old fashioned telephone stand and mail slot located in the welcoming foyer. The Bar in the partially finished basement adds additional living space. Basement has exterior access to garage. Updates include: new kitchen and upstairs bathroom remodel, new electrical in 2021 with USB outlets, refinished hardwood in the living room in 2021, New roof in 2019, New AC in 2019, 4 new windows in back and bathroom, New siding on the back of house, New Water Heater in 2010, and all fresh paint throughout.
