    What's special

    The Towering Oaks Estate is one of the most unique properties in Elgin. Sitting high on the bluff above the River, it's a short walk down the hill to the Fox River Trail and Trout Park. This exceptional and charming mid-century ranch sits on a wooded, nearly one acre homesite. This is no cookie-cutter home. From the covered front porch, make your way inside and walk on rich, hardwood floors through a living room which features a huge bay window and abundant natural light as you gaze at the expansive front yard. In the back, floor to ceiling windows provide the breathtaking view of wildlife and old-growth trees as the backyard gently rolls down to a small creek. The home has 3 full baths, two are freshly updated. This quiet and unique setting is a dream for the active hiker, runner, walker or cyclist...all this while also being just minutes from downtown Elgin and easy access to I-90. This is truly a one of a kind estate.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
