This 3br/1.1ba home (1/2 ba rough in in basement) has an 1.5 car detached garaged, several porches on both the 1st and 2nd story which add a ton of living space. The home has a great flow/layout. The front of the home offers a 3 season porch which would allow all the light in. Off the back, it has a nice spacious kitchen with a walk-in 3'x6' pantry. It has a concrete mud room landing that separates the first floor from the basement stairs. Just off the kitchen you'll find a sunny breakfast room and a big dedicated dining room. Adjacent to the living room is a set of French doors that leads you into the den with fireplace. As you peek through a couple chipped areas of plaster, you can see evidence of period wallpaper that might be salvageable and would be super cool. Lots of original trim abounds the first floor. It has been painted, but appears to be in good condition. At the top of the stairs, you'll find a huge central landing pad ('loft') with what appears to be the original wide plank (painted) pine flooring that leads to each bedroom. Bedrooms are carpeted, but likely one would find that same pine flooring underneath! The spacious primary offers an additional 3 season private balcony that is 7x21', perfect for an office, sitting room, play room, nursery, exercise area, sewing area, you name it! The other two generously sized bedrooms both have walk in closets!! This home will need renovation... so it is sold AS-IS, where-is, seller will not be removing personal items from the home. That being said, some awesome updates include 2023 hot water heater, wood laminate flooring in LR/DR/Den. A couple extra boxes are onsite and staying for any additional pieces needing replacement. The chimney looks straight and well tuckpointed. The aluminum siding is in excellent condition. Some electrical was updated as you can see conduit at/below grade in basement.

Aurora has a rich history that extends back centuries and is steeped in heritage. It was initially founded as a settlement by pioneers looking for a place to thrive in the Midwest. Officially incorporated in 1889, as time passed, the city’s small-town identity and atmosphere thrives, although the population is under 200. Rich in farming, historic sites and monuments, and a plethora of recreational activities, Aurora is conveniently located near larger cities for modern amenities.
Aurora City Park is a popular amenity for locals and nearby residents alike, where you can enjoy the trail, playgrounds, pavilions for gatherings, and a truck and tractor pull track. Looking to expand their outdoor activities, locals can take a short car ride to the 2,000 acre Backbone State Park where boating, fishing, hiking, and rock climbing are popular pastimes. And, of course, this close-knit community is no stranger to annual events. From the fireworks show in July to the Fall Vendor and Craft Show, there is something for all to relish throughout the seasons. Community members can also join local clubs that host social gatherings, fundraisers, and other events, such as the American Legion, the community fitness center, and the volunteer fire department.
Neighborhoods are much like what you would imagine from many years ago – farms tucked away amid green pastures, tree-lined country roads, and a few pockets of neighborhoods with tree-lined streets where everyone knows your name and welcomes you.
