About This Home
As of October 2025Step back in time and experience the charm and joy of a home built with the kind of craftsmanship you just don't see anymore. This spacious West Side Aurora beauty has all the character you'd expect, the space you need, and the updates you want (yes, the kitchen too!). Inside you'll find big, inviting rooms with plenty of room to spread out. You can't miss the intricate inlaid wood floor in the foyer. Gorgeous! This home features four bedrooms and two full baths, and is designed for both comfort and convenience. You'll love having a bedroom and nicely updated full bath on the main level, with three more bedrooms and another bath upstairs. The primary suite even has a huge closet you'll have to see to believe! (The closet space in a home this age is remarkable! The kitchen even has a HUGE pantry!) Close to everything that makes Aurora a great place to live, this home is ready for its next chapter. All it needs is YOU! Check out all the important updates: exterior paint/ 2023, main floor bathroom/2021, HVAC/2016, upstairs bath/2014 kitchen/2012. Welcome Home!
