426 North St, Elgin, IL 60120

Two-unit house in Historic District, occupied by two family members for at least 60 years, so no rents or leases were ever established. Nice exterior detailing still exists. Aluminum siding may hide more details as well. The two-car garage has special sliding doors. The house was converted to a 2-unit many years ago. The upper unit is presently occupied and has some original features. The first-floor unit has almost all of the original interior details, with windows, trim, doors, hardware, floors, and most of the layout. The first-floor kitchen is big. Each unit has a separate electric panel, water heater, and boiler in the full basement. Basement access from both units allows occupants laundry room access, with two separate hook-ups. The "Dorothy Door" allows exterior access to the basement as well. A nice side porch and patio create a private fenced-in backyard. The house has good bones, and with some cleaning and upgrading, it will shine again. Grant monies for exterior improvements are available from the City and from the neighborhood group, GPA. The seller needed to take the house off the market for 4 months until she found new housing, and now it is available for a quick closing. Sold AS-IS
