This classically elegant, rarely available, authentic farmhouse is a wonderful place to call home. Updates include new roof 2023, newer 50 gallon water heater 2022, newer zoned furnace and air conditioning 2021, new asphalt drive 2021, plus 200 amp breakers and copper plumbing. Large rooms, first floor master, first floor full bath with roll in shower, hardwood floors, wood burning fireplace, library, built-ins and bookcases, three walk in closets plus secret bar/china closet, and shady front porch make this property unlike any other. Updated kitchen and baths make the home ready for modern living. You will not believe the number and size of the windows and the amount of natural light streaming in. This beautiful home also has the best screened porch on the westside. The library could be easily converted to another first floor bedroom with en-suite bath by re-opening a door to the powder room or the powder room could instead be configured for a stackable first floor laundry. The nearly one acre lot offers mature trees, brick patio and flower and vegetable gardens. The patio and screened porch come with Bose speakers to get your summmer parties going. It is walk to Aurora University, Aurora Country Club, close to I-88, the Gilman Trail and a short trip to the Paramount, Downtown Aurora's emerging restaurant, music and arts scene, and the Aurora Transportation Center with service to Chicago via the BN line.
