About This Home
Dreaming of a timeless English-style brick home with modern updates and room to grow? Set on a picturesque 1/3-acre corner lot near Elgin's Historic District and the vibrant Lords Park complex, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath beauty blends classic craftsmanship with contemporary comfort! Inside, original hardwood floors, refined millwork, natural light, and neutral hues create an inviting canvas. A brick fireplace is perfectly positioned between the living room and dining alcove, anticipating evening conversations or quiet reading. Your refreshed kitchen shines with stainless steel appliances, a pass-through window, and ample cabinetry for any culinary need. Both retreats sit on the main level and share a newly remodeled hall bath, while the sun-filled 3-seasons room looks out over a serene backyard, ideal for morning coffee or sunset chats surrounded by nature. Venture outside to find an expansive patio ready for grilling, entertaining, or simply enjoying the open air. Downstairs, the recently finished basement is tailored for game nights or weekend fun with its built-in bar and shuffleboard court, a laundry nook, and plenty of storage. The detached 2-car garage includes an upper tier ready for customization, and your separate workshed offers space for hobbies, tools, or gardening. The attic is already prepped to convert to two more bedrooms and a bath, and the project contractor is available to help make it a reality. Upgrades include a furnace and A/C (2024), new chimney liner (2025), and a radon mitigation system (2020). You're close to Routes 19 & 25, public transit, Fox River trails, and Chicago is just a trip away. Let the next chapter of your story unfold in a residence with heart, history, and endless potential!
