The tall ceilings welcome your eyes to the brick fireplace flanked by the built-in bookcase.

Riddle Highlands Area Single Family Home

Sold

819 Oak Avenue Aurora, IL 60506

3 Bed

1632 sqft
Don't miss the opportunity to own this historic home in a truly historic neighborhood! In 1910, Wilbur and Orville Wright as well as others, showcased their flying machines on the grounds surrounding this home. The old fashioned driving park, horse racing track, and fair grounds would eventually be transformed beginning in 1922. The area would come to be named the Riddle Highlands after Frank Riddle who was developer of many homes here. Designed by architect Herbert Spieler, the home at 819 Oak was built in 1932 in the Norman Cottage style of architecture. Becoming popular in the 1920's, this English inspired architecture dates back centuries! While buyers of today pursue the modern farmhouse look, the buyers of the 1920's clamored for the French farmhouse look that this Norman Cottage emulates. The massive stone exterior, oversized chimney, arched doorways, dramatically sloped roof, and stone walkway contribute to the Cottage motif. Some of the Norman characteristics include the central hallway with identical rooms on each side, the symmetrical front, the red trim, and metal bars comprising some of the original shade screens. As though a relic from an ancient past ruin, a barrier fence follows the perimeter of the back yard now penned in with a modern wood fence. The home anchors a beautiful corner lot full of mature trees. Brand new HVAC system was just installed. Recently painted and professionally cleaned. Newer roof and appliances. The main bathroom was completely gutted and transformed into something that beautifully models the character of the home. The wood burning fireplace is the centerpiece of the great room and original wood floors sing as you walk. With all this home's charm and beauty, every day will feel as though you have been transported back in time!

Sheridan Area Residential Home

Sold

805 West Church Street Sheridan, IL 60551

4 Bed

It's been said that the home you should buy is the contractor's home. It's always the most over-improved house on the block. They never skimp, always choose the best matters, and then over-build it. Of course they never get nearly what they invested back out and that's why it's a win for the buyer. That's the story here at 805 W. Church. The entire home has been rebuilt down to the studs-both on the interior of the home as well as the exterior in what would amount to a full gut rehab over the last 18 years. Most recently, the owner completely removed the exterior siding, added additional insulation, Tyvek wrap, and Hardie board plank siding. New insulation has been added to the attic, as well. Inside, new insulation, updated 200 AMP electric, drywall with rounded bull-nose corners, and solid hard wood doors have all been added. The ranch home with its full finished basement rests on an oversized corner lot and includes a total of 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths above grade with an additional 2 bedrooms and full bath in the lower level. You will love this farmhouse inspired kitchen, treasure the reclaimed general-store styled cabinet, and gauk at helicopter landing skids that have been repurposed into a the one-of-kind support beam that allowed the kitchen to be opened up and expanded into an addition. Other kitchen upgrades include 18 inch Travertine floor tile, a produce wash-sink serves as a secondary sink, and a butcher block counter chopping block inserts are located near the stove for convenient counter-to-pot cooking. An extra-large mudroom with radiant floor heating could also be used as a three season room. The front room is currently used a dining room, but could be used as a living room just as well. This dining room features hard wood floors and corner gas fireplace complete with remote control, floor to ceiling stacked stone, and reclaimed timber mantle. Enjoy a spacious family room at the back of the home along with its wood burning stove. The fourth bedroom is at the back of the home near the family room. The bedroom has an adjacent full bathroom and is located near a side entrance. It could work well for an at-home office, business, or living situation for extended family living. All the bathrooms have all been updated. The full basement includes a large family room and recreation area, two bedrooms with proper egress windows, a fully plumbed bathroom with large shower, and laundry area with dual sets of washers and dryers (all four units included). Stepping out back, enjoy the radiant heated patio area...perfect for grilling in the winter. Nice deck with above ground pool has a new liner this year! The roof was replaced in 2014. The well pump is 2 years old. The pressure tank for the well is 2 years old. No other home in town can compare! This is a must see!
