Listing Description

Searching for a home that comes with three-quarters of an acre, beautifully renovated interiors, and the flexibility to adapt around the way you live? Set well back from the street, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath single-story residence offers 2,456 sq ft., enhanced by an impressive stretch of green lawn as you arrive!

A wide front porch creates an inviting first impression and an appealing perch for morning coffee, conversation with neighbors, or decor. Inside, abundant natural light streams through the living room's large picture window, while a tray ceiling introduces subtle architectural interest overhead.

Wood-style flooring transitions you into the dining alcove and adjoining kitchen, ensuring an easy flow between everyday meals and culinary pursuits. Luminous dark countertops and ample cabinetry line both sides of the kitchen, complemented by stainless steel appliances, dual ovens, and a gas cooktop.

A walk-in pantry keeps ingredients and small appliances within reach. Under pendant lighting, the petite breakfast bar offers a hangout for chatting with the cook, enjoying a quick meal, or sneaking in a midnight snack. Just off the kitchen, a versatile nook can serve as a workspace, mudroom, or organized landing zone for daily essentials.

Your generous primary escape features dual closets and shares an elegant hall bath with the adjacent retreat, offering a convenient main-level arrangement. Downstairs, the finished portion of the basement adds another dimension to the home. New carpeting, a brick fireplace, two versatile bedrooms with brick-accent walls, a full bath, and a dry bar create plenty of options for entertaining, hobbies, recreation, or hosting overnight visitors.

The unfinished section delivers practical storage along with laundry facilities and a utility sink, making it easier to keep seasonal gear and household extras organized. Wood-paneled ceilings and walls frame floor-to-ceiling glass sliders in the distinctive sunroom, keeping you connected with the outdoors throughout the seasons.

Settle in with a favorite book while autumn color, fresh snowfall, or a summer shower becomes the backdrop. Outside, fire up the grill on the back patio while the deep, unfenced yard provides room to explore ideas for gardens, recreational structures, or future expansion.

An attached 2-car garage adds daily convenience, while notable improvements include a roof updated in 2023, sump pump replaced 2026 and the septic was pumped in 2025. Shopping, dining, and Lords Park are nearby, with easy access to schools, the Fox River, golf, Elgin's Historic District, and I-90. Come explore the possibilities in person, then picture how you'll put these walls to work!
