About This Home

Meticulously maintained by the same owner for decades, this charming Cape Cod is ready for its next owner. Located in desirable Sunset Park this property is full of character and offers 3 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom and plenty space both inside and out.

A cozy family room just off the kitchen with wood burning stove provides the perfect spot to relax. The first floor bedroom and full bath add convenience and flexibility. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms include one with a walk-in closet. The partially finished basement expands the living space with a recreation room with a brick fire place and built in dry bar, bonus room, huge laundry room, and adjacent utility room with abundant storage.

An attached 1.5-car garage and a new roof in 2024 complete the property. Ideally located in a quiet, tree lined neighborhood near downtown Elgin, Fox River Trail & Lords Park Zoo while being minutes to shopping and dining. This is the perfect place to start your next chapter.
