Rare opportunity to own in DeKalb's incredible "Elwood Historic District". A beautiful Victorian with major curb-appeal centrally located a block from Lincoln Highway. This 4 bedroom up, 2 bath home is located on wide, tree-lined Locust Street. Walk or bike easily to NIU campus and downtown shopping district. Grand tall ceilings, generous room shapes, 4 bedrooms upstairs plus a main floor room perfect as an Office or additional bedroom. Original hard wood floors throughout along with original woodwork, hutch and stairs. Remodeled Kitchen is open to a large seating area with easy access to a spacious deck and charming, fenced-in backyard. This is a great place for entertaining! This historic home would serve easily as a main residence or as an investment rental. Newer furnace (2021). A large part of sewer line recently replaced (2021). New solar panels lower utility costs! Garage is shared with neighbor for a one car stall plus exterior shed. A rare Victorian which shines with plenty of natural light in a wonderful location!
