Description
Rarely does an authentic American Four Square become available in Elgin's coveted Gifford Park Historic District. Featured in a previous Annual Historic Elgin House Tour, this distinguished 1905 American Four Square seamlessly blends timeless craftsmanship with everyday livability. Original hardwood floors, coffered ceilings, pocket doors, two fireplaces, bay windows, an inviting enclosed front porch, 2 story sunroom with French doors, a rare dual staircase and generously proportioned rooms showcase the architectural details that make homes of this era so enduringly desirable. A walk-up attic with dormers and new skylights presents exceptional expansion potential, while thoughtful infrastructure improvements, including updated plumbing from the house to the street, city sewer replacement, circuit breakers, a newer roof and brand new boiler, provide confidence for years to come. The primary suite is a true owner's retreat where the tandem room can serve as an office or additional lounging area. Commanding attention from its elevated setting with a private fenced yard and detached two-car garage, this remarkable residence is ideally located between James T. Gifford Park and Channing Park, just minutes from downtown Elgin, the Metra, neighborhood schools, restaurants and the Fox River corridor. Don't miss your opportunity to own an authentic piece of Elgin's architectural legacy. Schedule your appointment today.
