777 Prairie St, Aurora, IL 60506

In University Neighborhood, this charming and well-maintained home on a half-acre lot offers endless curb appeal with classic white exterior and black trim, established landscape beds and towering shade trees. The expansive fenced backyard is complete with a storage shed, space for play, gardening, and a patio ideal for summer barbeques. Step inside to find sun-filled living spaces that showcase the timeless style of this home with its rich, preserved hardwood floors, wood trim, and built-ins that create a warm and welcoming atmosphere! From the living room, which is truly the heart of this home, the arched doorways provide a graceful transition from room to room. The window-lined dining room is the perfect place to gather and share a peaceful meal while the clutter from cooking is out of sight in the neighboring kitchen. With plenty of countertop space, professionally refinished cabinets and stainless steel appliances (new in 2022), you still have extra room to add an island, a buffet/pantry or a small table and chairs to design a space that fits your needs! There are 4 generously sized bedrooms - 2 on the main level and 2 upstairs - so the layout is perfect for any buyer! If you want a primary bedroom and full bath on the main level or maybe an office space and half-bath upstairs so that you can work and be a bit separated from the noise and distractions of the household, this home fits the bill! And, there is plenty of storage space in the cedar closet upstairs and the full, unfinished, clean and dry basement. Cost of ownership will be manageable as all major components have been diligently replaced/updated: Furnace and AC (2021); Siding, roof, skylights, gutters and garage door (2024). The Aurora University Neighborhood offers a serene yet connected lifestyle. Rooted in an area that is walkable and bike-friendly, you will see plenty of neighbors out strolling daily. Residents benefit from quality schools, parks (for humans and pets), trails and a strong local culture-while a short trip connects you to downtown dining, entertainment, and commuter access to Chicago. Welcome to small-town warmth with big-city convenience.
