Don't miss this gem of a home, located only steps from the University of Illinois campus and leafy Carle Park in Historic West Urbana. This charming and timeless 3-bedroom + office, 2-bath home, built in 1924, blends traditional American foursquare and Art Deco elements and has been beautifully maintained through the years. Nestled among the mature trees of brick-paved Indiana Avenue, you will fall in love with this delightful, all-brick historic residence, which has only had three owners in its 102-year existence. Will you be the fourth? An open and inviting living room with a wood-burning fireplace accommodates gatherings large and small, while French doors bring you to a bright sunroom with handsome built-in bookshelves for your favorite stories and plenty of sunlight for indoor plants. Recently refinished original hardwood floors and other updates give a fresh shine to this cheerful living space, and an upstairs office and a partially finished basement with exposed brick provide plenty of space for indoor work and play. The kitchen offers ample storage, a large window, and a pass-through to the newly built and enormous back deck, which is perfect for entertaining. The gorgeous, glass-paned back door - salvaged from a University building - opens onto the deck, the perfect place to host a summer barbecue while children play in the large-for-the-neighborhood backyard and enjoy the swingset. Raised beds await your vegetable garden, and each summer, beautiful roses and Concord grapes climb the wooden fencing. The surprising and useful two-car garage, located below the deck, is the brainchild of a beloved architecture professor who infused the property with creative and fun design elements. The house also boasts a walk-up attic for added storage or potential future living space.
