Description
This incredible Victorian Kerber Manor, nestled on quaint Rugby Place, overlooks beautiful Channing Park. One of the grandest homes in the Elgin Historic District is now available. 3414sq.ft., with architectural detail packed into every one of the 13 rooms of this house. Probably the biggest wrap-around porch in Elgin overlooks the rolling hills and mature trees in Channing Park --great for viewing the 4th of July Fireworks. The house includes five good-sized bedrooms. All three full baths are newer and include either a clawfoot tub, a soaking tub, or a rain shower. In 2018 the kitchen was updated with quartz countertops, tall wood cabinets, a vintage-looking sink, and marble tile. Two parlors, each with a fireplace; a formal dining room, with built-in cabinets; an office with a massive bookcase; and a grand foyer are located on the first floor. In addition to the five bedrooms and two baths, the upstairs includes a sitting room and two sun porches, Some of the awesome details include ten-foot ceilings, a second staircase, beveled glass, original wood trim, very ornate hardwood floors, original light fixtures, floor-to-ceiling windows, built-ins, working transom windows, tin ceilings in three rooms, original doors, and hardware. The ceilings in the basement are also ten-foot. The rooms include a big laundry area, a root cellar, a dark room, and a number of storage rooms, and a large access door to the backyard. The four-car garage, with a coach house above, is a unique feature in this neighborhood. Imagine the possibilities if this space was utilized for any number of things, such as in-law quarters, guest quarters, an artist studio, a she-shed, or a great recreation room. The house sits on a larger lot with big trees, including a very big beech tree. There have been only three owners of this house to date. Built by William Kerber of Kerber Meat Packing Co. and Kerber Meat Market. Own a piece of Elgin history.
