About this home
A classic home ready for your story to begin. This charming two story home welcomes you from its huge corner lot setting, complete with a sprawling backyard. The inviting front porch creates an instant sense of home, encouraging you to relax and enjoy the neighborhood. Inside, the foyer opens to a stunning living room where the original gleaming hardwood floors and gorgeous woodwork immediately catch your eye. A striking wood burning fireplace with a custom wood surround showcases the space, while a large picture window fills the room with natural light and leads you into the spacious formal dining room, perfect for family gatherings. The updated kitchen offers an abundance of 42" cabinetry and a modern tiled backsplash. A unique, original to the home pull down table with matching benches adds a special touch, ideal as an eat-in nook or as extra culinary prep space. Upstairs, you'll find three generous sized bedrooms, each with step-in closets, along with a beautifully updated full bath. A cedar closet and stairway access to the large attic provide excellent storage and exciting potential for future expansion. The full unfinished basement is a blank canvas-ideal for a recreation room, hobby workshop, fitness area, or simply additional storage. The possibilities are endless. Outside, the fully fenced, oversized backyard is a rare find. Whether you envision lively gatherings, a dream garden, a play space for kids, or a paradise for your dog to roam freely, this yard delivers the space you've been searching for. Just 10 minutes from Phillips Park, Aurora's crown jewel, you'll enjoy easy access to its free zoo, scenic walking and biking trails, and beautiful Mastodon Lake for fishing and kayaking. The park also features an 18 hole golf course, a family aquatic center, a notable skate park, and stunning formal gardens. Conveniently located near Aurora's vibrant downtown, with the Metra station, shopping, great restaurants, and entertainment venues. Near neighborhood schools and only 15 minutes to I 88.
