Beautiful Victorian home on a peaceful, tree-lined street in Elgin. The grand, wraparound porch greets you, and hints of the craftmanship about to be found inside. On the main level of this Remodel, the flooring is all new, but all of the wood trim work is original. Windows are new and plentiful, allowing a ton of natural light. Bathrooms are new, upstairs and main level. The kitchen has been very nicely done, and has a doorway to the enclosed porch; a perfect place to enjoy 3 seasons. Upstairs bedrooms are nice sized, and one features an 8' x 8' bonus 'nook' that you could be very creative with. Feel at ease knowing the furnace, water heater, electric, and plumbing are all new. The nice garage, large brick paver patio, and big back yard with a swingset complete the package. Elegance of the past with amenities for today!! Come out and fall in love with this one!!
