Property Description
Discover the charm of French Eclectic architecture in this meticulously maintained home located in one of Elgin's most picturesque west side neighborhoods. As you approach the property, you'll be greeted by professionally designed landscaping and a convenient breezeway/mudroom connecting the garage to the home. Inside, the kitchen stands out with its professionally updated Amish custom cabinets, granite countertops, under-mount sink, Kenmore Elite stainless steel appliances, and abundant storage complemented by a beautiful sapele mahogany wood top island. The elegant formal dining room boasts crown molding, original built-in cabinets, and comes complete with an antique 3-leaf 6-seat dining room table and buffet that stay with the home. The living room offers a cozy atmosphere with a gas fireplace surrounded by built-ins and opens up to a three-season porch that steps down to a backyard patio, creating a perfect space for entertaining or simply enjoying the views of the beautiful backyard. The home features three spacious bedrooms, each filled with character, ample storage, hardwood floors, and natural light. One of the bedrooms even has a French door walkout to rooftop access. Bathrooms include a convenient half bath on the main floor and a full bath on the second floor featuring an oversized soaker tub, large walk-in shower, and heated floors. Situated on a lot and a half, the backyard serves as a private sanctuary with heirloom peonies dating back 150 years, a large stamped concrete patio equipped with outdoor speakers, and a charming hand-built shed adorned with vintage windows and French doors. The basement offers a cozy finished den perfect for game and movie nights, a decorative fireplace, a workshop, and additional storage space. Recent updates to the home include a soaker tub in 2021, exterior trim paint and leaf gutter guards in 2020, a cedar fence with metal gates in 2018, carpet on stairs and landing in 2017, a full kitchen remodel in 2014, a living room gas fireplace and mantel update in 2012, and various updates in 2008 including a finished basement den, sump pump, new furnace, air conditioner, and humidifier. This home truly is a must-see, showcasing pride of ownership and a perfect blend of original character with thoughtful updates. It was featured on the Elgin House Walk Tour in 2021. Now it can be yours!
