Set on one of the most sought-after blocks in Urbana's historic "State Streets" neighborhood, this home combines timeless character with exceptional space. The oversized lot, spacious two-car garage with a walk-up attic, and screened-in back porch create a private outdoor retreat. Inside, you'll find beautiful original woodwork and exposed hardwood floors throughout the main level, along with fireplaces in the living room, dining room, and second-floor primary bedroom. The unfinished basement stands out for a home of this era, offering ample storage and potential workshop space, complemented by the convenient walk-up attic above.
