The crown jewel of Elgin's Spring-Douglas Historic District. This lovingly restored Queen Anne corner-lot home has all the modern conveniences without sacrificing vintage charm. From the wrap-around porch to the delightful vestibule, you are welcomed into this captivating home. Generously sized rooms and 10' ceilings make the layout feel open. The first floor features a formal living room, dining room, sitting/family room with a fireplace, sunroom, powder room, and modern kitchen which features a built-in cabinet, a newer butcher block island, and 2022 appliances. The second floor features four spacious bedrooms, two full baths, and a laundry room. Stairs up to the third level provide access to the tall attic with ample space for storage or the potential to be finished. Basement has been newly renovated and offers additional recreational space, home office, wet bar and access to the backyard. Enjoy the outdoors with gorgeous professional landscaping, patio with pergola and fully fenced yard. Easy access to downtown Elgin, Metra train, Fox River Bike Trail and the library. So many updates in the last five years including furnace (2023), tankless water heater (2024), whole house water filtration system (2023) and much more!
