Burroughs, this treasured property offers original wide plank wood flooring dating back to the mid-1800s, historic banisters, dual staircases and exquisite architectural details throughout.

A flexible main-floor space can serve as a library, study, fifth bedroom, or laundry room with its own half bath. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a wood-burning fireplace, walk-in closet, and a beautifully updated en-suite bath. Three additional bedrooms, each full of character, and two full bathrooms complete the upper level. Additional highlights include zoned HVAC, a two-car attached garage, and a fenced backyard. Seller is offering home warranty to buyer! This rare gem in the award-winning Aurora School District is ready to welcome its next chapter. A true historic haven in the heart of it all!
