About this home

This is a well maintained, super clean and hard to find two unit in quiet location. Home has been in current family since 1953. This is an unusual 2 unit - as it was built in 1948 as a two flat and was not simply a conversion - has been owner occupied for most of its time. Both units boast many original features including cabinetry, flooring and fixtures. Lower level has oak flooring and upper unit has bright maple (original.) Major mechanicals are 4 years or less - such as furnaces, hot water heaters, windows, roof, bathroom fixtures and so on... Main level is currently vacant and would be great for the owner occupant as the lower level has an additional finished great room -- great for a work from home office, kids playroom or simply storage. Located in the heart of Elgin near restaurants, shopping, Metra and the casino. Don't miss this great opportunity!
