About This Home
As of April 2025This charming 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath ranch is nestled on a quiet dead-end street and has been updated in all the right places! The kitchen was beautifully remodeled in 2024 with all-new appliances (except the dishwasher), while the basement bath and laundry room were just completed. Major updates include a new driveway, shed, water softener, and well pressure tank in 2024, an updated powder room, new roof, and gutters in 2023, and a new A/C and furnace in 2022. With a full basement, there's plenty of potential to expand. Step outside to a spacious backyard-an entertainer's dream-featuring multiple seating areas and plenty of room to run and play. Conveniently located near parks, shopping and Aurora University, this home is truly move-in ready. Welcome Home!
