153 S Chapel St., Elgin, IL 60120

This house is what you call a "sleeper". It may not have lots of detailing on the exterior, but wow, the inside has lots of great vintage details all thru the house. And speaking of "sleeper", there are four nice-sized bedrooms for sleeping. This 1920's gem is located on a quiet block, in the Elgin Historic District. It is therefore eligible for Elgin grant money towards exterior work. The interior detailing includes hardwood floors, original oak trim, moulding, and doors; original hardware; pocket doors; many original light fixtures/sconces; big 16-over-1 windows; bevelled glass windows and doors; stained glass windows; and beautiful oak wood panelling. There is a full basement for storage and voluminous attic space, ready to be put to use. With some redecorating and polished wood floors, this will serve a new family well. Priced right.
