About this home

The Towering Oaks Estate is one of the most unique properties in Elgin. Sitting high on the bluff above the River, it's a short walk down the hill to the Fox River Trail and Trout Park. This exceptional and charming mid-century ranch sits on a wooded, nearly one acre homesite. This is no cookie-cutter home. From the covered front porch, make your way inside and walk on rich, hardwood floors through a living room which features a huge bay window and abundant natural light as you gaze at the expansive front yard. In the back, floor to ceiling windows provide the breathtaking view of wildlife and old-growth trees as the backyard gently rolls down to a small creek. The home has 3 full baths, two are freshly updated. This quiet and unique setting is a dream for the active hiker, runner, walker or cyclist. .. all this while also being just minutes from downtown Elgin and easy access to I-90. This is truly a one of a kind estate.
