Welcome to 901 Old Mcdade Road - this is a truly unique property set upon 4.5 acres within a mile of Downtown Elgin's up-and-coming popularity. This home was built, year exactly unknown, likely in the 1920's as a brick home, built room by room. There have been 3 owners in this property's history. The current owners bought the home in 2018 and have thoughtfully restored and improved the home & the acreage over their recent ownership yet with a desire to preserve the original charm & character of the home. Functional improvements on the home such as windows, metal roof, HVAC units & solar. Surrounding the 4.5 acres there are perennial gardens featuring native plants, vegetable gardens and an Orchard with 14 fruit trees. There are so many features, please see the attachment featuring the improvements and personal letter from seller explaining property history. This home is set at the front of the property leaving the 4.5 acres available for exploring. Owners did much of the land and brush clearing, creating pathways to multiple serene park areas and a personal campsite. There are Owl's, Roadrunners and lots of wildlife in this nook of downtown Elgin. Please note, while owners have restored and improved this home, it still remains an 100-year old home and will likely show old-home items upon an inspection.
