About this home

Welcome to one of Elgin's treasured historic homes, nestled in the prestigious Gold Coast neighborhood. Originally built in 1884 as a charming one-story cottage by William Wendler for his young bride, this remarkable residence was thoughtfully expanded over the years as the family grew. Rich in history, the home remained in the original family for nearly a century and is now being offered for sale for the first time in over 40 years. Set on a large, fenced lot surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, this property offers timeless character in a peaceful, established neighborhood. Enjoy the convenience of the Fox River and bike path just at the end of the block, along with easy access to historic downtown Elgin, the Gail Borden Public Library, and the Hemmens Cultural Center. Inside, you'll find a wonderful blend of historic charm and modern improvements. Original hardwood floors remain in the dining room and kitchen under the current flooring, offering the opportunity to restore even more of the home's original beauty. Recent updates include energy efficient triple-pane windows, a 200-amp electrical service, a new water heater, and wiring for a future hot tub. The kitchen features a new GE air fryer range, and the home also includes a newer LG washer and dryer. With a new elementary school planned for 2028 and an unbeatable location in one of Elgin's most sought-after neighborhoods, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history while enjoying the comforts of modern living.
