Every great home has a story, and this turn-of-the-century farmhouse in the heart of Elburn is ready for its next chapter. Inside you’ll find a full cast of character; tall ceilings, original trim, classic built-ins, impressive pocket doors, and a staircase that absolutely knows it’s the star of the show. The updates are the kind of sequel everyone hopes for; thoughtful, modern, and true to the original. The refreshed kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a center island that blends seamlessly with the home’s original style. Both bathrooms have been updated, including a beautifully remodeled second-floor bath that confidently steps into its role as the main character, while new windows bring in great natural light. A brand-new roof and upgraded electrical work quietly behind the scenes to keep the story running smoothly. The flexible floor plan includes a first-floor bedroom and full bath – perfect for guests or a home office. The expansive basement offers excellent storage and plenty of room for future ideas (no plot twists required). Outside, the story continues. The fully fenced yard includes a patio and gazebo, ideal for quiet mornings or gatherings under the stars. Two detached garages provide plenty of space for vehicles, hobbies, or creative projects. And because every good story has a few original details, the historic privy and chicken coop remain as charming nods to the home’s past and guaranteed conversation starters. Rich in character, thoughtfully updated, and full of heart; this is a home where old stories linger and new ones are ready to be written.
