About This Home
Rare opportunity to own a storybook English Cottage in the historic Riddle Highlands neighborhood of Aurora. Set on an oversized lot with mature trees and established landscaping, the home showcases beautiful brick and stone detailing that reflects the craftsmanship and charm that make this historic enclave so special. A welcoming foyer opens to a den, a spacious living room with gas fireplace, and a large eat-in kitchen with refaced cabinetry, solid surface countertops, and easy-care flooring. A formal dining room and first-floor screened porch provide additional space for everyday living and entertaining, while large windows fill the home with natural light. Upstairs you will find generously sized bedrooms with remarkably large closets and access to oversized attic storage. Carpeting on the stairs and second floor was installed in 2024. Plaster walls, hardwood stairs, and hardwood flooring beneath much of the carpeting add to the home's original character. The finished basement offers additional living space with a wood-burning fireplace, knotty pine accents, and a side alcove ideal for gaming, reading, or office use. The unfinished laundry and mechanical area provides ample storage and includes a commode. Outside, the partially fenced yard features a brick patio, brick garage, and concrete driveway surrounded by mature landscaping and garden space. This character-filled home is ready for its next chapter in one of Aurora's most distinctive historic neighborhoods. Property is being sold as-is.
