About This Home
As of May 2022Oh, if walls could talk...I wonder what 551 Garfield Avenue would have to say! Wander through the photos and imagine what this historic home has seen! Pay attention to the natural woodwork...just LOOK at that staircase! Step in and enjoy the living room with its hardwood floors and plenty of big windows to bathe the room in natural light. The dining room has so much character, its a true "WOW" (did I mention that it can seat 24?). There is also a library or office on the main level. Kitchen is large for this genre of home, and features painted cabinets, solid surface counter tops, a double oven and stainless appliances. Upstairs find the HUGE master with actual closet space, four additional bedrooms, and two full baths (one is a Jack N Jill!). Home has a finished attic! You will love the three season porch overlooking pool and the backyard! This will be THE PLACE for summertime fun! The basement features a brand new full bathroom! There is a three car garage with a full floored attic. Home has a huge yard, and an in-ground pool which has been well maintained. Truly, a spectacular home...well built, well maintained, and amazing. The Aurora University Area is a popular place to live, with its beautiful homes, friendly neighbors, mature trees, and walkability, with nearby parks and large fenced in dog park (within 1/2 mile) and so much more. This once in a lifetime opportunity is knocking...don't wait to answer the call!
