This home reflects the seller's steady commitment to maintaining and improving it. Bring your interior design ideas because the major work has already been completed. There are many updates, and your Realtor can provide the full list. Highlights include: central air in 2020, furnace in 2021, electrical panel in 2020, water heater in 2023, whole house water filter system in 2024, new composite front and side porches, a rebuilt garage, asphalt driveway replaced with concrete, updated vinyl siding with aluminum fascia, extensive plumbing upgrades with copper, and a repaired waste stack in 2024. You'll find thoughtful details throughout the home, including abundant moulding, some original hardwood flooring, a dining room bench with buffet storage, generous kitchen cabinetry, updated countertops, stainless steel appliances, flat LED can lights, and several improvements to the both bathrooms. The third bedroom does not have a closet, though the office offers excellent potential for a spacious walk in closet. Dressers will remain for additional storage, and each bedroom has a ceiling fan. The main level den includes a closet and built in shelving, making it suitable for use as a bedroom. Channing Park is nearby with a great playground and walking path. The middle school is located at the end of the street, and the elementary school is just two blocks away. Come explore the area and enjoy life in Elgin.
