Description

Charming Brick Colonial Revival in Elgin's Historic Gold Coast Located in Elgin's highly desirable Gold Coast neighborhood, this meticulously maintained 1951 Colonial Revival home is a Mid-Century gem in the heart of the Spring-Douglas Historic District. Blending timeless architecture with thoughtful modern updates, this home exudes character, comfort, and elegance throughout. Inside, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and two half-baths. The spacious primary suite includes multiple closets, an attached full bath, and a charming sitting or dressing room with custom built-in cabinetry. A Dutch door leads to a private balcony overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard. In 2017, the kitchen was completely redesigned with commercial-grade Bertazzoni appliances and custom Fieldstone cabinetry, creating a sleek and functional space that retains a Mid-Century aesthetic. French doors from both the kitchen and living room open into the sunroom-a relaxing retreat featuring new Senex windows with retractable screens, a beadboard ceiling, and updated vinyl flooring suitable for outdoor use. The living room, ideal for entertaining or unwinding, features a sculpted Mid-Century carpet and a wood-burning fireplace. A dedicated home office, positioned between the kitchen and living room, offers a quiet space for work or reading. Throughout the house, beautifully refinished original hardwood floors enhance the classic ambiance. The finished basement includes a cozy family room with an all brick fireplace, a half-bath, a large laundry room, and abundant storage. It also offers a private entrance from the exterior. A walk-up attic provides additional storage space. Outside, the professionally landscaped yard is a private sanctuary shaded by 150-year-old oak and maple trees. A large stamped-concrete patio features a fire pit, built-in barbecue station, ambient lighting, and a shade-providing wind sail-ideal for outdoor gatherings. The custom-built "She-Shed" includes floor-to-ceiling cabinets, offering versatile space for hobbies or additional storage. A brick oversized two-car garage includes a 220-volt outlet for EV charging. The entire backyard is enclosed with a combination of wood privacy and black aluminum fencing. The roof and gutters were replaced just fifteen years ago, adding peace of mind to this already move-in-ready home. The location is unbeatable-just blocks from the Fox River, bike trail, downtown Elgin, the Metra station, award-winning Gail Borden Library, the city's recreation center, and a wide variety of shops and restaurants. This is more than just a house-it's an elegant and welcoming home in one of Elgin's most treasured historic neighborhoods. Whether you're entertaining guests or enjoying a quiet evening at home, this residence offers the perfect blend of style, function, and community.

    "Everyone loves our neighborhood! We have an organized neighborhood association and many friendly neighbors who host weekly get togethers in the summer. Many neighbors are active in the community and are long time residents. Caring neighbors, historic homes, and true friendliness make this the neighborhood many people aspire to move to. The amenities include a community built play park at McKinley School, easy access to the bike path, close to downtown with wonderful ethnic restaurants, close to The Centre (Elgin's rec center), 10 minutes from Metra trains into Chicago, 5 minutes from a library that garnered the top national library award last year.
