Property description
Charming Craftsman-style bungalow in the heart of Elgin. On the main level, the living room draws visitors with a cozy fireplace. Marvel at beautiful custom moldings throughout. Welcome guests into the spacious dining room. Lots of natural light enhances the kitchen which features stainless steel appliances, double oven and tons of cabinet space. The den could easily be converted into a 4th bedroom, or keep it as a quiet office space. Upstairs, find 3 spacious bedrooms all with walk-in closets. On the lower level a spectacular recreation area has potential for a separate living space, complete with 2nd kitchen and spa bath. Enjoy lots of updates including new roof, windows,front door and more. The icing on the cake is the new 2.5 car garage (note high ceilings!) with fresh driveway, nestled into the lovely shaded yard. Walk to the vibrant downtown Elgin scene & National Street Metra with convenient auto access to expressways - great for commuters. This amazing value won't last!
