A wonderful wrap-around porch, with a double door entry, invites your guests into another era. Full-length windows are present in most rooms. Hardwood floors, original trim, and moldings retain the character from 150 years ago. A modern kitchen features a cherry floor, maple cabinets, beautiful countertops, tile backsplash, and lots of light! A spacious dining room with a bay window, a front parlor with a fireplace, and a first-floor bedroom/den offer plenty of living space. One bath is on first level. Two bedrooms, plus a den area and two full baths are located upstairs. Electrical and plumbing have been upgraded. Furnace upgrades and the new roof in 2021. A nice-sized yard has a large shed and a log cabin playhouse. A parking pad is located off the back alley, with plenty of room to add a garage. The rear yard is fenced. This property is in the Elgin Historic District and will require a new buyer to sign a form acknowledging such (rules pertain to exterior improvements only. Grant money is possible from both the City of Elgin and the neighborhood group, the Gifford Park Association.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
