About This Home
This charming three-bedroom home was built in 1913. It is part of the Elgin Historic District, and has a plaque indicating that it is a significant structure. There is beautiful wood detail found throughout the house, especially the staircase. The leaded glass windows, hardwood floors, and hardware are all original. The first floor has good-sized rooms, with a surprisingly large kitchen space. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms and a full bath. Plus, there is a walkup large attic space with windows that could be made into 3rd story living space, or used for storage space. The basement is dry and clean and is easy to access. It has the laundry area and a bath with a shower. A long concrete drive leads to the garage. The property has been professionally landscaped, with an especially nice backyard space. The hot water heater, furnace and AC are just 5 years old. The roof is 12 years old and in excellent shape. The front porch was rebuilt just 4 years ago. And the upstairs bath was updated last year. This property is eligible for grant money from both the City of Elgin and the neighborhood group to do exterior work. Elgin's downtown, neighborhood school, museums and parks are all within blocks of this house.
