Property Description

Rare, all brick French Style Georgian home; absolutely stunning! Experience timeless French Eclectic design in this beautifully cared-for residence nestled in one of Elgin's most scenic west side neighborhoods. From the moment you arrive, the professionally landscaped grounds and charming breezeway/mudroom-linking the garage to the home-set a welcoming tone. The thoughtfully renovated kitchen is a standout feature, showcasing Amish-crafted custom solid wood cabinetry with generous storage space (pantry with pull-out shelving) blended with granite countertops with undermount sink, Kenmore Elite stainless steel appliances, and striking sapele mahogany island top. The formal dining room exudes classic elegance with crown molding and original built-ins, and includes an antique three-leaf dining table and buffet that will remain with the property. Large inviting living room features a gas fireplace framed by built-ins and flows seamlessly into a three-season enclosed sun porch which steps down to a patio-ideal for entertaining or relaxing while overlooking the beautifully landscaped backyard. Second floor with three spacious bedrooms each with hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and ample storage. One bedroom includes French doors that provide access to terrace overlooking your rear oasis. The home includes a main-floor powder room and a second-floor full bath with heated floors, an oversized soaking tub, speaker system built into the walls, and a large walk-in shower. Beautiful large rear yard is a private retreat featuring 150-year-old heirloom peonies, a stamped concrete patio with outdoor speakers, and a handcrafted shed with vintage windows and French doors. The finished basement with family room with fireplace, laundry room, workshop area, and additional storage. Notable updates include a new soaking tub (2021), exterior trim paint and leaf gutter guards (2020), cedar fence with metal gates (2018), stair and landing carpet (2017), complete kitchen remodel (2014), updated gas fireplace and mantel (2012), and 2008 improvements including a finished basement den, sump pump, furnace, air conditioner, and humidifier. This home reflects exceptional pride of ownership, blending historic character with meaningful modern enhancements. Featured on the 2021 Elgin House Walk Tour, it offers a rare opportunity to own a truly distinctive property. This is truly a one of a kind masterpiece!
