Description

Charming, One-of-a-Kind Custom Ranch in west Aurora - Just Blocks from Aurora University and the prestigious Aurora Country Club! Nestled in one of Aurora's most sought-after neighborhoods, just moments from Aurora University, this truly unique custom ranch offers an exceptional blend of character, craftsmanship, and modern updates. Originally built by a skilled craftsman builder as his personal residence, the home showcases remarkable attention to detail, including extensive built-in storage, cedar-lined closets, and an impressive primary suite complete with a spacious dressing room. Thoughtfully updated throughout, this home seamlessly combines timeless charm with today's conveniences. Recent improvements include a newer roof (2020), furnace (2022), updated electrical with new breaker panel (2022), updated windows and doors (2023), custom closet systems, a newer garage door, and over $170,000 in thoughtful improvements. The beautifully remodeled kitchen is a standout feature, offering crisp white cabinetry, a functional open layout, walk-in pantry with built-in coffee bar, abundant storage, and updated flooring-all complemented by a fresh, neutral color palette. The fully finished basement offers an additonal 2,000 sq. ft of living space with an additional bedroom, full bath, generous family room, and versatile flex space ideal for guests, entertaining, or a home office. With a separate entrance / exit to the lower level, this is an ideal inlaw suite, caregiver arrangement, or rent out as an apartment! Ample storage and utility areas provide practical functionality. Step outside to a professionally landscaped yard designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Enjoy evenings on the deck with dedicated hot tub space (2023), enhanced by exterior up-lighting, a new PVC fence, and added concrete features-all set against the backdrop of a peaceful pond with fountain, creating a truly idyllic setting. This meticulously maintained, one-of-a-kind home offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive property in a highly desirable location-combining space, style, and setting in a way that is seldom available.
