This 3-Bed, 2-Bath Ranch is calling all dreamers, doers, and renovation warriors looking for the ultimate fixer-upper challenge.

Situated on a .28-acre...Desperately Seeking Visionaries (and Those Who Love a Challenge)! Ready to turn a diamond in the rough into the crown jewel of South Elgin? This 3-Bed, 2-Bath Ranch is calling all dreamers, doers, and renovation warriors looking for the ultimate fixer-upper challenge. With over 1200 sq ft of solid potential, this place is primed for a major glow-up-where the only thing more dramatic than the Fox River views is the sheer potential waiting for your vision (and a few contractors). Situated on a .28-acre lot, this home is conveniently located right next to city-owned parkland, so you can enjoy kayaking, biking, fishing, and relaxing in your own private slice of nature. The home? Well, it's ready for a new chapter. New kitchen appliances? Yes, please. TWO bathroom remodels? Totally needed. And don't forget the oversized 2-car detached garage for all your storage and project needs. Flood insurance may be required if you're getting a loan (but let's be real, this home has never seen a flood-unless you're talking about your tears of joy when you finish your dream renovation).
