The story
- Basement
NEW FLOORING THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE MAIN FLOOR! Rarely does a property like this come available in Elgin. This meticulously maintained, one-owner ranch offers 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, an oversized double lot, incredible flexibility, and features you simply do not find every day. Set next to the alley with no neighbor directly beside you, the property offers an unusual amount of privacy, breathing room, and usable space while still being just minutes from Wing Park, shopping, restaurants, and everyday conveniences. The outdoor setup is where this home really separates itself. A detached workshop with electric was thoughtfully designed to complement the home and offers endless possibilities for hobbies, woodworking, projects, storage, a home office, creative space, or your own private retreat. The oversized tandem garage with extra height provides even more room for vehicles, trucks, equipment, additional storage, or workshop space. The expansive yard includes a fenced garden area, two pear trees, an additional storage shed, and plenty of room to enjoy, entertain, garden, or simply spread out. Inside, the home is filled with warmth and character. The retro kitchen cabinetry adds a distinctive charm that gives the space personality you simply cannot recreate in a cookie-cutter home. The home has been lovingly cared for over the years, and it shows throughout, including a roof approximately five years new. The lower level adds even more flexibility with a second kitchen setup. The previous oven was removed, but one could easily be added back, creating excellent potential for related living, entertaining, or expanded functionality. This is not your typical ranch. It is a solid, well-cared-for home with character, space, privacy, and possibilities that are increasingly hard to find-especially on a lot like this.
