Property Description

Don't miss the most charming cottage in the sought after AU area! Just one lot off the beautiful West Downer Place boulevard, this rare gem is on the market after almost half a century of loving care by the same owner. Step through the enchanting, one-of-a-kind French front doors and be WOWED! This carefully-maintained 3-bedroom, one and a half bath beauty has all newer no maintenance exterior, original interior trim and doors, gorgeous oak built-in dining room cabinet, refinished wood floors, new first floor bath with large walk-in shower, and updated kitchen with new farmhouse sink and granite counter. Adding on to the living space is a HUGE finished basement with wood ceiling and separate laundry room. Delight in the backyard paradise with professionally landscaped perennial plantings that bring changing blooms from spring to fall. Large patio with new concrete driveway. The detached one car garage has room for expansion. A darling small shed mimics the look of the main house and can serve as extra storage or a playhouse. Located in the Boulevard District, this well-kept dream home is just blocks from Freeman Elementary, West Aurora High School, Holy Angels Grade School and Aurora University. Walk or bike to beautiful downtown Aurora that brings thousands to Paramount Theatre, RiverEdge Park, family-friendly First Fridays, and festivals featuring the arts and live music. Minutes to Metra and I-88, shopping, medical, FVPD Gilman Trail, and more. The seller will leave all appliances and the home is move-in ready with freshly-painted rooms.
