About This Home
Come breathe in all the new at this beautifully updated home that blends timeless character with modern finishes-and just the right amount of personality. This charming home boasts a bold black-and-white exterior, fresh landscaping, and a covered front porch that's basically begging for morning coffee or evening wine (we don't judge). Inside, you'll find sun-filled rooms with brand-new windows throughout, a functional open layout, and all the cozy charm you'd expect from a classic Auroran bungalow. The raised foundation brings tons of natural light into the basement, where exposed black ceilings scream "cool urban loft vibes." The finished lower level adds a whole new dimension of living space with a 4th bedroom, a full updated bath, and a versatile rec room-perfect for movie nights, kids play area, or that Peloton you swore you'd use. Radon mitigation is already in place, and there's still plenty of storage. The kitchen? It's a showstopper. White shaker cabinets with brushed brass hardware, sleek Calacatta quartz countertops with dramatic veining, and a classic subway tile backsplash keep things timeless yet modern. Stainless steel appliances (yes, including a gas range), a deep undermount sink with a gold pull-down faucet, a spacious pantry, and a peninsula with bar seating make it easy to host dinner without apologizing for your kitchen. Large windows flood the space with natural light, bouncing beautifully off the warm, wood-look flooring throughout. Both bathrooms got the glow-up treatment: the upstairs bath features crisp white tile with a bold black accent niche and matte black fixtures, while the lower-level bath offers a roomy walk-in shower with warm neutral tile and added storage. And don't forget the walkable attic-perfect for additional storage, a hot yoga retreat, or stashing Amazon boxes before you-know-who finds out. Outside, you'll love the private backyard, 2-car garage, and plenty of driveway parking for all the friends who will suddenly want to visit once they see your new place. Conveniently located just minutes from downtown Aurora, schools, parks, dining, shopping, the Metra, and I-88, this home is as convenient as it is stylish. Move-in ready, packed with potential, and full of charm-this bungalow is ready to be your happily-ever-after.
