HIGHEST AND BEST IS DUE BY TODAY, MONDAY 6/20 AT 5 PM! A beautiful Victorian lady, with major curb-appeal is waiting for you. This is a rare opportunity to own in DeKalb's incredible "Elwood Historic District". Centrally located a block from Lincoln Highway, this 4 bedroom up, 2 bath home is located on wide, tree-lined Locust Street. Walk or bike easily to NIU campus, our downtown shopping district and all. Our home boasts tall ceilings, unique room shapes, 4 bedrooms up, hard wood floors throughout along with original woodwork, hutch and stairs. Our kitchen is open to a large seating area with easy access to our spacious deck and charming backyard. This is a great place for entertaining! This historic home would be great for a family, group of friends or as a rental. Our home has been lovingly taken care of for the last 15 years by the same family. Our furnace is approximately 18 months old, a big part of sewer line was replaced last year, siding and roof replaced along with ongoing maintenance as needed inside and out. One side of the property receives full sun, so this a rare Victorian gets a lot of natural light. Property is SOLD AS IS. Owner would prefer a fast close. No FHA contracts, please.
