Architecturally pleasing, this brick charmer is located on a corner lot in the heart of Old Champaign. Imagine the warm glow of vintage street lights at days end, friendly neighbors, the Free Little Library and the Dog Treat Tree for our fur friends on their routine outings. That is what you'll find when you visit the 1019 W Union neighborhood. The 1.5 story home has 1503 SF plus a partial basement, 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and 1C detached garage. The home has been well cared for since it was built in 1924. The main floor has a flowing traffic pattern consisting of the living room with wood-burning fireplace, a dining room flooded with natural light and gorgeous crown moulding, multipurpose den, 1/2 bath and kitchen with table space. Windows had been updated with Pella windows. The kitchen was gutted in 2016 and beautifully updated with new cabinetry, granite counters, subway tiled backsplash and luxury vinyl plank flooring. Appliances are all stainless with the refrigerator replaced in 2019 and dishwasher in 2022. There is also a closet pantry tucked in at the top of the basement steps for all those extras. The main floor hardwoods have been refinished. The 2nd floor contains 3 bedrooms, full bath and vintage linen closet. The main bedroom has multiple closets and built-ins for efficient use of space. The full bath was gutted and updated in 2015. There is hardwood flooring under the 2nd floor carpeting.

The efficient Furnace/AC was installed in April 2023, the warranty is transferrable. An exterior bulkhead door allows a secondary access to the basement and is a convenient way to move furniture into the basement multipurpose/family room. The basement windows were replaced in 2021. David Smith installed a radon mitigation system in 2017 and in addition to normal crawlspace mitigation, a wooden floor was built for an incredible storage area. The backyard patio provides a spot to relax and view the tasteful landscaping with privacy provided by the Brooks Creek Cedar Fencing (2021).
