This 1889 beauty in Elgin, IL needs some polish, some work, and the kitchen is meh, but look at her. 8bds, 4ba, 6,040sqft, $550k.
I really like the foyer mural.
Grand entrance hall. It looks like someone started to strip the newel post. Not feeling the red carpet.
Very large reception room features a marble fireplace.
The tower has a bench and doors that close it in.
There's a big dining room.
Nice family room with a wood burning stove.
The kitchen's functional, but it's been renovated and it's dated, but not in a Victorian way.
The pantry is nicer.
A library with a built-in sofa.
Graceful stairs going up to the bedrooms.
The bedrooms are large, have fireplaces, and were freshly painted a neutral color.
The bedrooms are light and airy.
This smaller bedroom has a nice closet.
A lovely sunroom. This is beautiful.
They redid this bath.
And, this one has an original floor, pedestal sink, but they put in a metal shower. '
At the end of the hall, stairs go up to what was likely the staff bedrooms.
This is nice, the landing has a wall of linen closets.
Very nice bedroom.
Vintage-y bath.
Another nice room. Not one creepy bedroom, they're all cheery and light.
Then, a few stairs go up into the top of the tower. What a cute little space.
There's also a nice big carriage house.
A blank slate with lots of potential.
There's a park and the Fox River across the street.
0.43 acre.
