About This Home

As of October 2024

Opportunity is knocking! If you are looking for a chance to live in a GRAND home that has PLENTY of space, you have found it in 549 S Lincoln Avenue in Aurora! Absolutely BRIMMING with character and charm and old world style. Notice first the L shaped wrap around enclosed porch. Big enough to host a gathering right there! The enormous front room has original hardwood floors, 10 foot ceilings and natural wood beams and plenty of windows overlooking the porch. There is a woodburning fireplace in this great room. The kitchen has tall cabinets and stainless steel countertops. The staircase to the second floor is dramatic, with it's turned banister. The craftsmanship of a bygone era is evident throughout this home. The second floor is unique for a home of its time, featuring a primary suite with it's own private full bathroom! The additional bedrooms are served by a full bath, and all of the bedrooms have an amazing amount of closet space. The attic on the upper level is partially finished and features a 5th bedroom, a playroom or bonus room and attic space for storage. The basement is unfinished and adds to the storage space. The laundry and another half bath is located in the basement. The coach house in back makes a wonderful spacious garage and the second floor adds to the storage space. Yes, this home needs updating, but the bones are strong and beautiful. Located in a fantastic part of Aurora, near schools, the new gorgeous Bardwell Residences, shops and so much more. Invest a little sweat equity and make this your Home!
