Basement has been newly renovated and offers additional recreational space, home office, wet bar and access to the backyard. Enjoy the outdoors with gorgeous professional landscaping, patio with pergola and fully fenced yard. Easy access to downtown Elgin, Metra train, Fox River Bike Trail and the library.
