As of December 2021HUGE PRICE REDUCTION and new roof to be installed in the next 2 weeks!! Be a part of Elgin's history. This home dates back to 1863 and has stood the test of time. Imagine all the possibilities! Situated on a corner lot, an added bonus is the extra lot that is included with the home. That lot is approx 49X107. There are 3 full bedrooms, 2 upstairs plus a bonus room on the 2nd floor. The main floor features the master bedroom and a fully renovated full bath bath. All rooms have fresh paint and new carpet. There is space for a table in the kitchen. The living room/dining room is spacious and versatile. Many windows bring in lots of natural light. In addition to the 2 nicely sized bedrooms upstairs, there is a bonus/flex space. The main floor breezeway connects you to the attached garage. So many updates make this a great move in ready home. With a little additional effort, this has the potential for even greater things and built in equity.
