About this home
Welcome to the heart of the historic West Urbana Neighborhood Area-a/k/a "The State Streets"-where historic charm meets incredibly convenient proximity to the UI campus and to downtown Urbana. Originally built in 1918, this craftsman style home sits on a corner lot on two low traffic streets with side-facing oversize two-car attached garage with attic loft storage. The front of the house welcomes visitors through an enclosed front porch, while the back door opens onto a private, newly constructed deck. The inside of the house features original hardwood floors. The first floor features a private study with windows facing both north and south along with a wall of built-in shelves and an integrated bench. A spacious first floor laundry room/half bath combination is conveniently located a few steps off the kitchen, which is a major improvement from the many neighborhood homes with laundry in the basement and no first floor bath. The updated kitchen features a large pantry closet and another full-length built-in storage unit just a couple steps outside the kitchen. The second floor offers three bedrooms, one of which is part of a two-room suite, which makes for a private bedroom with adjoining study or dressing room area. The full basement offers excellent storage, hobby, or workshop space with excellent clearance and a utility sink. The current owner did a whole-house energy audit, followed by a list of improvements: foam insulation sprayed into the band joist areas in both basement and attic, added attic insulation, and a Trane high-efficiency gas furnace & high-efficiency two-stage central a/c in 2022. (Two-stage air conditioners can operate at two speeds to optimize comfort and humidity control based on outdoor heat and humidity.) One photo dates back to the home's early history as home for the Fears family, which owned the former Fears & Son Blue Ribbon Foods store in Urbana. Home has been recently pre-inspected with report on file. Water heater from 2018, and roof was new first layer in 2018. Check out the immersive 3D virtual tour (which includes back deck, garage & backyard) and the HD photo gallery!...
