156 S Gifford St., Elgin, IL 60120

This very detailed Victorian/Italianate 1872 house was featured on a past Elgin Historic House Tour. Lots of original details on the exterior, and the interior. A wonderful wrap-around porch, with a double door entry, invites your guests into another era. Full-length windows are present in most rooms. Hardwood floors, original trim, and moldings retain the character from 150 years ago. A modern kitchen features a cherry floor, maple cabinets, beautiful countertops, tile backsplash, and lots of light! A spacious dining room with a bay window, a front parlor with a fireplace, and a first-floor bedroom/den offer plenty of living space. Two bedrooms, plus a den area and two full baths are located upstairs. Electrical and plumbing have been upgraded. Furnace upgrades and the roof are new in 2021. A nice-sized yard has a large shed and a log cabin playhouse. A parking pad is located off the back alley, with plenty of room to add a garage. The rear yard is fenced.
