Welcome to 901 Old Mcdade Road - this is a truly unique property set upon 4.5 acres within a mile of Downtown Elgin’s up-and-coming popularity. This home was built, year exactly unknown, likely in the 1920’s as a brick home, built room by room. There have been 3 owners in this property’s history. The current owners bought the home in 2018 and have thoughtfully restored and improved the home & the acreage over their recent ownership yet with a desire to preserve the original charm & character of the home. Functional improvements on the home such as windows, metal roof, HVAC units & solar. Surrounding the 4.5 acres there are perennial gardens featuring native plants, vegetable gardens and an Orchard with 14 fruit trees. There are so many features, please see the attachment featuring the improvements and personal letter from seller explaining property history. This home is set at the front of the property leaving the 4.5 acres available for exploring. Owners did much of the land and brush clearing, creating pathways to multiple serene park areas and a personal campsite. There are Owl’s, Roadrunners and lots of wildlife in this nook of downtown Elgin. Please note, while owners have restored and improved this home, it still remains an 100-year old home and will likely show old-home items upon an inspection. Please see attached Engineer report pertaining to sunroom/storage area (not included in sqft) and Sellers Disclosure Notice. Please contact listing agent with specific questions and to schedule a showing.

Cute cottage home on 4.5 acres in the city limits. 2 bed 1 bath home with lots of character. formal dining and large laundry room. Home has recently connected to city sewer. Lovely side patio to sit out and enjoy the cool evenings under the large oak trees. Acreage is mostly behind home and will need to be cleared for access. Tax record says it was built in 1955, but that is the year current owner purchased, so actual date is unknown. Lots of space to add on to home. FEMA - Unknown Restrictions: Yes
