One level of living. A whole basement of possibilities.

Listed at $367,500 (MLS #12794960), it has a finished basement, an attached 2-car garage, and a fenced yard that backs to open space, in the Elgin Area U-46 school district.
Picture a summer evening on the patio under the pergola. The grill is going, the yard is fenced, and behind the fence there's nothing but open green space. No neighbor looking back at you.
Inside, everything you need is on one floor: three bedrooms, two full baths, and a primary suite with its own recently remodeled bath. The kitchen has stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar, and it opens to the eating area and family room, where a brick fireplace makes winter feel a little cozier.
Downstairs, the finished basement gives you space to grow into: a family room, a game room, an office, a gym, plus laundry and a workshop. The big updates are already done, including new windows, a newer roof, fresh exterior paint, a new concrete courtyard and a new cedar fence.
