**Received multiple offers - Please submit your best and highest offer by 6pm 9/13/2025** Affordable Starter or Investor Special - Sold As Is This charming two-bedroom, one-bath ranch at 200 Jefferson Ave in Elgin offers an excellent opportunity for investors or first-time home buyers. It sits on a manageable lot and dates back to the early 1900s. Inside, a sunny living room opens to a separate dining room-both recently refreshed with modern flooring and neutral paint. The kitchen features stainless-steel appliances, white shaker cabinets and generous counter space, while a bonus room just off the kitchen makes an ideal home office, playroom or morning-coffee retreat. Downstairs, a full basement with a laundry area offers room to expand or create a workshop, and the attic adds convenient storage. The property is being sold strictly as is which is why the pricing is so reasonable. The home remains in the same condition as the prior sale two years ago, so buyers can enjoy the recent updates while still adding value with their own improvements. Children here attend McKinley Elementary School, Larsen Middle School and Elgin High School, all part of School District U 46. The district partners closely with local businesses and offers nationally accredited career and technical programs. It also provides advanced academic programs and magnet academies, supporting students from early childhood through college preparation.
