About this home

Charming, well-built, and full of character! This adorable 2-bedroom, 1-bath home is tucked away in a desirable Elgin location and offers the perfect blend of comfort, functionality, and opportunity. The interior was completely remodeled down to the studs when purchased in 2010, creating a practical layout with inviting living spaces and a home that has been well cared for over the years. Recent updates include central air (2021), along with a newer refrigerator, dishwasher, and garbage disposal. Outside, you'll love the private backyard-ideal for relaxing, entertaining, or enjoying a quiet evening-as well as the oversized 2-car garage with plenty of room for vehicles, hobbies, and additional storage. The basement provides valuable storage space and added functionality. This property offers a wonderful opportunity for its next owner to personalize a few finishing touches while enjoying the peace of mind that comes with a solid home. Conveniently located near parks, schools, shopping, dining, and commuter routes.
