About this home

Charming, One-of-a-Kind Custom Ranch in Aurora's Historic District - Just Blocks from Aurora University! Nestled in one of Aurora's most sought-after historic neighborhoods, just moments from Aurora University, this truly unique custom ranch offers an exceptional blend of character, craftsmanship, and modern updates. Originally built by a skilled craftsman builder as his personal residence, the home showcases remarkable attention to detail, including extensive built-in storage, cedar-lined closets, and an impressive primary suite complete with a spacious dressing room. Thoughtfully updated throughout, this home seamlessly combines timeless charm with today's conveniences. Recent improvements include a newer roof (2020), furnace (2022), updated electrical with new breaker panel (2022), updated windows and doors (2023), custom closet systems, a newer garage door, and over $170,000 in thoughtful improvements. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is a standout feature, offering crisp white cabinetry, a functional open layout, walk-in pantry with built-in coffee bar, abundant storage, and updated flooring-all complemented by a fresh, neutral color palette. The fully finished basement significantly expands the living space, featuring an additional bedroom, full bath, generous family room, and versatile flex space ideal for guests, entertaining, or a home office. Ample storage and utility areas provide practical functionality. Step outside to a professionally landscaped yard designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Enjoy evenings on the deck with dedicated hot tub space (2023), enhanced by exterior up-lighting, a new PVC fence, and added concrete features-all set against the backdrop of a peaceful pond with fountain, creating a truly idyllic setting. This meticulously maintained, one-of-a-kind home offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive property in a highly desirable location-combining space, style, and setting in a way that is seldom available.
