Full of character and smart updates, this classic 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath brick bungalow offers timeless charm in a location that's hard to beat. Set on a landscaped lot with a welcoming covered front porch, garage, and fenced backyard featuring a spacious deck added in 2019, the home sits just minutes from downtown Elgin, the Fox River, library, hospital, I-90, and the Metra. Inside, arched openings lead to a warm family room with hardwood floors, crown molding, leaded glass windows, and a masonry fireplace, while the formal dining room continues the same classic detail. The updated 2019 kitchen features an island, farmhouse sink, decorative backsplash, Corian quartz counters, under-cabinet lighting, generous cabinetry, and space ready for a dishwasher. Two bedrooms and a full bath complete the main level, and the finished upper level offers a private primary suite with vaulted beamed ceiling and Velux roof windows, along with a sitting area, library, and second full bath. The partially finished basement adds a rec room, half bath, laundry, and storage. The house has unique touches like a breakfast nook, phone seat, and laundry chute. Major improvements include exterior paint, fireplace liner/cap, garage foundation reinforcement, and boiler in 2018, fence in 2017, roof in 2014, and water heater in 2025. Lovingly maintained by only its second owner, the home also includes the stove, vintage beverage fridge, washer, and dryer, making this a rare blend of historic style and everyday practicality.
