Description

This Classic North East Side Bungalow brings loads of charm with the perfect blend of vintage craftsmanship and all the right updates! Incredible location with close proximity to the Fox River, miles of walking and biking paths and very easy access to the expressways for an easy commute. Just wait until you experience the gorgeous fully enclosed and insulated front porch that warmly greets you and provides a fantastic extra living space to enjoy special times of relaxation. Soothing tones throughout the home's interior space give a fresh and contemporary feel, while complimenting the home's heritage in the original hardwood floors and gorgeous solid wood moldings and windows. The spacious, open living room and dining room lead to the lovely kitchen, where historic styling blends with the cabinetry and upgraded appliances. Freshly painted inside and out, you'll also rest easy knowing the home's mechanicals including the furnace, a/c, water heater, and electrical panel (updated to circuit breakers) have been recently done. 2 bedrooms and the adorable bathroom with claw-footed tub complete the main level. Downstairs, a finished basement with second living area, 3rd bedroom, and large storage and work room provide great, versatile space. Step out the back door and onto the recently completed composite deck that's perfect for outdoor entertaining. Or just grab a seat and a cup of coffee or glass of wine and relax enjoying the wonderful views of the private and perfectly landscaped backyard all under the canopy of mature trees. Hurry as this one won't last.

    "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.
