Rare Historic Gem in the Heart of Aurora - Fully Renovated 1890 Beauty - Step into a rare piece of Aurora history with this beautifully renovated 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home, originally built in 1890. Meticulously rehabbed and thoughtfully updated, this property blends historic character with modern functionality. A unique mix of original and new hardwood flooring, paired with intricate crown moulding in the front rooms, sets the tone for timeless elegance. The home's classic layout includes a charming parlor room, a cozy living area, and a separate formal dining room perfect for hosting gatherings. A dedicated office or den-easily converted into a fifth bedroom-adds flexibility to the space. Each bathroom has been tastefully refreshed with period-inspired finishes, honoring the home's historic roots while providing modern comfort. Attention to detail is evident throughout: newer windows in most rooms, built-in shelving, and custom-milled trim that seamlessly matches the original profiles. The master bathroom has been updated, and a walk-up attic offers additional storage or future potential. Outside, the restoration continues. The home features custom-milled cedar siding, with the rear finished in durable LP SmartSide for longevity, while the remaining three sides retain the charm and authenticity of the original cedar. The garage includes a brand-new concrete floor, and the electrical system has been upgraded to 200-amp service. Both the house and garage roofs were replaced in 2021, along with new gutters and downspouts. In 2022, the upper balcony was completely rebuilt. Even the roof cresting was carefully recreated to reflect the home's historic design. Located just blocks from vibrant downtown Aurora, this home offers charm, character, and craftsmanship rarely found today. Don't miss this opportunity to own a lovingly restored piece of local history.
