Charming bungalow in the heart of historic Old East Urbana tucked away on a quiet, tree-lined street, this home offers the perfect blend of character, comfort, and convenience just moments from downtown Urbana's farmers market, local shops, dining, the Urbana Aquatic Center, parks, and bus lines. Cedar siding and a welcoming front porch set the tone as you step inside to a warm and inviting main level. The living room flows seamlessly into the dining area, while a cozy library with custom shelving creates the perfect space for a home office or reading retreat. The main-floor primary bedroom features private access to a beautifully remodeled full bath complete with a whirlpool tub. The spacious eat-in kitchen offers great functionality, along with a conveniently located pantry and laundry room. Upstairs, you'll find two generously sized bedrooms with plenty of natural light. Step outside to a huge fenced backyard ideal for entertaining, gardening, or simply enjoying your own private outdoor space. Major updates include a new furnace and central air (2018) and a newer metal roof, offering peace of mind for years to come.
