Light and bright throughout with 9-foot ceilings, tall windows, fresh paint in neutral colors and bamboo and laminate flooring. Interior and exterior wood molding embraces the home's character. The updated kitchen offers plentiful cabinet space, butcher block countertops, subway tile backsplash and plenty of room for a dinette. The main level offers separate living and dining rooms, a first-floor bedroom or office, and convenient half bath. Original hardwood floors under the laminate in most rooms.

The deep lot with extended side driveway gives you extra parking and a real canvas for outdoor entertaining. Parks, schools, the Fox River, downtown Elgin, and Metra access are all close by. Sold as-is.
