The curved porch and fish scale shingles are Queen Anne elements, while the wood bands encircling the house are typical of Stick Style structures. (per Aurora IL website) This is a historic home that has all the charm with modern amenities. This home has retained its original wood floors, moldings, windows, outer trim, and hardware among other things. The major upgrades have been implemented in the bathrooms and kitchen. You can see the history everywhere you look in the home and although it needs some minor TLC, the bones of the home are strong. So much potential in this large Victorian home! Located in Aurora's East Historic District, this home is loaded with character and charm! Features updated kitchen, large bedrooms, 2 full baths, foyer, accented fireplace and full basement! Also includes 1 car garage, covered front porch, sun room, and backyard with deck! Sold AS-IS.
