HIGHEST AND BEST IS DUE BY TODAY, MONDAY 6/20 AT 5 PM! A beautiful Victorian lady, with major curb-appeal is waiting for you. This is a rare opportunity to own in DeKalb's incredible "Elwood Historic District". Centrally located a block from Lincoln Highway, this 4 bedroom up, 2 bath home is located on wide, tree-lined Locust Street. Walk or bike easily to NIU campus, our downtown shopping district and all. Our home boasts tall ceilings, unique room shapes, 4 bedrooms up, hard wood floors throughout along with original woodwork, hutch and stairs. Our kitchen is open to a large seating area with easy access to our spacious deck and charming backyard. This is a great place for entertaining! This historic home would be great for a family, group of friends or as a rental. Our home has been lovingly taken care of for the last 15 years by the same family. Our furnace is approximately 18 months old, a big part of sewer line was replaced last year, siding and roof replaced along with ongoing maintenance as needed inside and out. One side of the property receives full sun, so this a rare Victorian gets a lot of natural light. Property is SOLD AS IS. Owner would prefer a fast close. No FHA contracts, please. Contact listing agent, Maureen with questions.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
