Description
This very detailed Victorian/Italianate 1872 house was featured on a past Elgin Historic House Tour. Lots of original details on the exterior, and the interior. A wonderful wrap-around porch, with a double door entry, invites your guests into another era. Full-length windows are present in most rooms. Hardwood floors, original trim, and moldings retain the character from 150 years ago. A modern kitchen features a cherry floor, maple cabinets, beautiful countertops, tile backsplash, and lots of light! A spacious dining room with a bay window, a front parlor with a fireplace, and a first-floor bedroom/den offer plenty of living space. One bath is on first level. Two bedrooms, plus a den area and two full baths are located upstairs. Electrical and plumbing have been upgraded. Furnace upgrades and the new roof in 2021. The city just replaced the water service lines to the house, a major improvement. A nice-sized yard has a large shed and a log cabin playhouse. A parking pad is located off the back alley, with plenty of room to add a garage. The rear yard is fenced. This property is in the Elgin Historic District and will require a new buyer to sign a form acknowledging such (rules pertain to exterior improvements only). Grant money is possible from both the City of Elgin and the neighborhood group, the Gifford Park Association.
