This beautiful historic home offers character, space, and opportunity. While it could use a little TLC, many major updates have already been completed, including full copper plumbing, a 200-amp electrical panel, a HVAC system installed in 2019, and a hot water heater also installed in 2019. Original hardwood floors have been lovingly restored, preserving the charm and craftsmanship of the era. The spacious primary bedroom is conveniently located on the main level and features an adjoining bonus room - perfect for a home office, nursery, sitting area, or even a tandem bedroom for a toddler. The main floor also includes a nicely sized kitchen adjacent to the dining room, plus a cozy living room and welcoming foyer. Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms and a full bath, offering comfortable accommodations for family or guests. A full cellar basement houses all the mechanicals and provides plenty of extra storage. Enjoy generous room sizes throughout, inviting front porches, and a peaceful setting next to a lovely open green space with a neighborhood garden. Plenty of parking with a large driveway, and there's ample room to add a garage. Feature: an additional 50' lot beyond the driveway is included, giving you even more flexibility and value. Home located in the Elgin Historic District, this home is a rare find for those who appreciate history and potential.
