This beautiful three bedroom home in the tree lined Aurora University neighborhood is ready for its next chapter. It is freshly updated with new paint, stainless steel kitchen appliances, quartz counter, upstairs bath and first floor luxury vinyl. New roof 2017, new hot water heater 2020. The second-floor features original hardwood floors and an original built-in chest. It is move-in ready so all you need to do is put your furniture down and enjoy the summer on your sunny front porch. The home is enhanced by large living and dining rooms as well as a large first family room that has also been used as a fourth bedroom as needed. The basement features a half bath that has in the past had a corner shower. A two-car garage and walk-up attic offer plenty of room for vehicles and storage. This is a great walking neighborhood but is centrally located between the RT 31 and Orchard Rd tollway interchanges and handy to the Burlington Northern Metra line at the Aurora Transportation Center. So much to like, plus under $350,000! Location, updates, vibe; don't miss it!
