About This Home

As of October 2023

If you have always dreamed of living in a home that is absolutely brimming with character and charm, that also has plenty of modern updates, this Riddle Highlands Beauty is a dream come true! Designed by architect Herbert Spieler, this beautiful home was designed in the Norman Cottage style of architecture. The stone and stucco exterior seems straight from the pages of a storybook. As you enter you will find a center hallway, flanked by the living and dining rooms. The focal point of the living room is the large woodburning fireplace. What a cozy feature on those chilly winter evenings. The dining room is large enough to entertain in, and this inviting home will certainly be the place everyone wants to gather. You will love the updated kitchen, and all appliances stay! There is a washer dryer in the kitchen and another in the basement if you prefer it there. Upstairs find three generous bedrooms, all with plentiful closet space (especially for a home of this age!) The full bathroom has been recently updated and is simply beautiful! Be sure and notice the Juliet Balcony off one of the bedrooms. Absolutely delightful! The partially finished basement is a great place for games or crafts. The backyard is fenced and private with mature trees. Riddle Highlands is a grand historic district on Aurora's West Side. Beautiful homes that exude the charm and grace of a time gone by. No cookie cutter homes here! Recent updates include: new hot water heater, 2023. New flooring in kitchen, hallway and bathroom, 2022. Some new cabinets in kitchen, 2022. New washer/dryer in kitchen. HVAC new in 2022. Very convenient to I-88, the Metra, shopping and schools. What a lovely place to call home.
