Property Description
A perfect starter home, or something to downsize to, this home is located in a beautiful historic district on Elgin's Eastside. The home features timeless architectural details and a quaint open front porch welcomes you. Upon entering you'll notice 9ft ceilings and gorgeous hardwood floors carefully nestled between the oversized baseboards. The family room, dining room and kitchen all flow together on the main floor and create an open feel. There's a sliding door from the kitchen out to the large deck and a good-sized backyard. Both bedrooms are located upstairs and there is an unfinished basement that is great for storage and a work area. Although this home is move-in ready, there is still plenty that you can do to add instant equity through some handyman work and improvement. Take advantage of this low-priced home while it's available! Sold during processing.
