Remarkable English Cottage in the fantastic Riddle Highlands. This neighborhood is very special, historically significant, and like a small enclave of friendly neighbors. Wonderful home on an oversized lot with mature trees and landscaping, and a hosta garden. Partially fenced yard with brick patio area, and brick garage. Concrete driveway. Ornate brick and stone work, and interesting architecture compliment the outside, and the interior floor plan is charming and nostalgic, yet perfect for today's living as well. Huge welcoming foyer opens to the den, the huge living room with gas fireplace, and the large eat in kitchen. There is a wonderful formal dining room as well, and all the rooms are light and bright. Kitchen with refaced cabinets and solid surface countertops with easy to maintain pergo-type flooring. First floor screen porch/sunroom for those warmer days. Large bedrooms upstairs with remarkably large closets and access to oversize attic storage. Convenient full bath has been remodeled by current owners. Plaster walls, hardwood stairs, and hardwood under most of the carpeting. Huge basement family room with wood burning FP and side alcove for gaming, reading, or as another office area. Charming knotty pine. Large unfinished basement laundry room with lots of storage and room for mechanicals. Commode in basement, so adding a bath should be a breeze. Gas FP in living room, and WBFP in basement.The washer and dryer can either remain or be removed. Additional information about the Riddle Highlands Historic District can be found at the City of Aurora Website. School assignments are subject to changes, and should be verified with the school district.
