Property Description
If you feel like you've been in this house before, you may be right! It has been featured twice on the Historic Elgin House Tour. Located at the corner of Chicago St. and Warwick Place in the Elgin Historic District, it is known as the Hattie Hemmens House, as the benefactor of Elgin's Hemmens Auditorium lived there at one time. This spectacular, Italianate style house is filled with impressive detail, inside and out. A 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath historic gem that delights from the moment you step in the front door, it features stained glass windows, original light fixtures, exceptional doors and hardware, hardwood floors, fancy carpeting, and unique Bradbury and Bradbury wallpaper on the walls and ceiling. There are two fireplaces, one in the back parlor and one in the elegant dining room. The dining room fireplace has a white marble mantel and surround that was salvaged from the Wrigley Building in Chicago. The kitchen has been upgraded but maintains its old-world charm with appropriate style cabinets and trim. The adjacent breakfast nook and a powder room were added as part of the kitchen rehab. An elaborate staircase leads to the second floor where there are four large bedrooms (two are connecting), and two vintage full baths, one being a very large master bath. A screened porch is accessible from the master bedroom. Two floors of living space offer plenty of room, and there is bonus space in the finished walk-up attic with its large storage area. This house is located in the Elgin Historic District, within blocks of Elgin's downtown, which features restaurants, a recreation center, an award-winning library, the Fox River, Festival Park, the Metra train, and of course, Hemmens Auditorium! The Elgin Historic District location also allows the owner to apply for City of Elgin and Gifford Park Association grant money to help cover exterior projects. The owner is also offering all the vintage furniture as seen in the photos. This is a stunning house for a great price.
