Ready to be impressed? Step inside this charming four square that has been renovated and restyled from top to bottom located in Aurora's prestigious Boulevard District.

Set on a deep 50x198 lot, you will love the big backyard that has plenty of room for a pool and a large garden. Upon entering, you will find an amazing screened in front porch, a great space for sipping your coffee in the sun of the southern exposure. The entire house is a seamless mix of vintage charm meets modern style. The first floor boasts 9-foot ceilings, a great office, a spacious living room with a new fireplace facade (2022), a formal dining room with coffered ceiling and leaded glass windows, an updated kitchen (2025) with a vintage design and farmhouse sink and an enclosed back porch. Both bathrooms were updated in 2020. Upstairs you will find 4 large bedrooms (1 has a deck overlooking the yard), a spacious hallway and stairs to the unfinished attic with expandable living space.

There is no garage but plenty of space to add a 2-3 car garage on the preexisting concrete pad. There is a 4-car driveway in the front of the home. The unfinished basement is ready to be finished! Located just blocks to Lincoln Park dog park, Aurora University and plenty of restaurants and shopping, this home is a MUST SEE! Welcome Home!
