Welcome to one of Elgin's treasured historic homes, nestled in the prestigious Gold Coast neighborhood. Originally built in 1884 as a charming one-story cottage by William Wendler for his young bride, this remarkable residence was thoughtfully expanded over the years as the family grew. Rich in history, the home remained in the original family for nearly a century and is now being offered for sale for the first time in over 40 years. Set on a large, fenced lot surrounded by mature trees and lush landscaping, this property offers timeless character in a peaceful, established neighborhood. Enjoy the convenience of the Fox River and bike path just at the end of the block, along with easy access to historic downtown Elgin, the Gail Borden Public Library, and the Hemmens Cultural Center.
