Description

This gorgeous late 19th century Victorian sits in Elgin's historic district on a rare oversized 0.23-acre downtown lot surrounded by mature trees and timeless architecture that immediately stands out from the street. From the ornate covered front porch to the original hardwood floors and detailed millwork inside, this home carries the kind of craftsmanship and character that simply cannot be recreated today. Tall ceilings, large sun-filled windows, and a beautiful wood-burning fireplace give the home warmth and presence throughout, while the historic artwork murals inside create a unique connection to Elgin's history and personality. The spacious layout offers bright living areas filled with natural light and flexibility, blending historic charm with everyday comfort. Outside, the deep backyard provides plenty of space to entertain, relax, garden, or enjoy the privacy created by the mature trees, along with a detached 10x14 shed for additional storage or workspace. Major updates include A/C 2018, and high efficiency water heater 2022. The home also has a high efficiency furnace. This home brings together historic charm, craftsmanship, and a location close to downtown Elgin. Schedule your private showing and experience it in person.
