About This Home

Half-acre lot in a prime Aurora location, just minutes from Philips Park Zoo, parks, tennis courts, outdoor recreation, and the shops and dining of downtown Aurora! You'll be amazed by the freshly painted interior (2025) and beautifully refinished first-floor oak flooring (2025). This meticulously maintained 3-bedroom home is filled with character and charm from the moment you step onto the inviting front porch. A stunning leaded glass door welcomes you into the foyer, setting the tone for the craftsmanship found throughout. The eat-in kitchen features a triple set of windows, appliances, and views of the private backyard. Generous living and dining rooms provide the perfect setting for gatherings. Extraordinary millwork highlights fluted casements, rosette corner block molding, and impressive 10-inch baseboards. Hardwood flooring extends throughout both the first and second floors, including beneath the carpeting. Original paneled doors with vintage hardware add timeless appeal, while 9-foot ceilings enhance the sense of space and light. A convenient first-floor laundry room is located just off the kitchen. Relax in the cozy three-season room with screens, storms, and electric, overlooking the expansive backyard. Step outside to a 20' x 14' deck with custom bench seating and a pergola, ideal for entertaining. The professionally landscaped, fenced yard offers mature trees, a shed, and two additional storage areas. Additional features include all copper plumbing, an unfinished basement with a newer water heater and utility sink, and a 2-car garage with electric, newer vinyl siding, and a newer roof. A security system and a new roof (2023) add peace of mind. This is a truly special home with space, updates, and an unbeatable setting!
