About This Home
Welcome to this charming ranch on a deep, wooded lot just under 1/3 acre (approx. 0.30 acre) in Elgin, only about a block from Lords Park, featuring a public pool, museum, small zoo, playground, tennis courts, and running/bicycle trails. Tucked on a paved, very low-traffic street, this home offers a peaceful setting while still being close to parks, schools, shopping, and commuter routes. This cozy 2-bedroom home features ~1,040 sq ft of comfortable living space with a bright layout, a spacious living room, and an attached 1-car garage. Recent improvements include a newer roof, newer gutters, fresh paint, updated flooring, and an updated bathroom, making it a great move-in option with room to add your personal touch. Enjoy the rare lot size with mature shade trees and plenty of outdoor space-an ideal combination of location, privacy, and land. Property conveyed as-is.
