Great opportunity to own a charming home near downtown Aurora. This cute home has so much potential and curb appeal with it's bright yellow and white exterior and fresh landscaping. The indoors offer arched entryways between rooms, a brick woodburning fireplace in the living room, a separate dining area and open concept kitchen and family room. 3 generous sized bedrooms with a full bath on the 2nd floor and a huge open attic with stairs, that can be used for storage. The unfinished basement does have a shower/sink/toilet and could be easily finished off to provide a 2nd full bath, as well as a laundry area with washer/dryer and utility sink. Inf the yard you will find a large deck and fenced yard for outdoor entertaining. While this home needs updating there is such amazing potential and also offers a great investment opportunity for investors.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
