Description
Classic on the outside. Pure mid-century modern vibe on the inside! If you appreciate distinctive architecture and homes with character, this one is a must-see. One of the things that makes the Aurora University area so special is its collection of lovely and unique homes, and this beauty is no exception. This one of a kind home features a classic red exterior that gives way to an interior filled with clean lines, soaring vaulted and beamed ceilings, and open spaces. One of the home's distinctive features is its original Insulrock ceilings (updated with insulation above and a membrane roof for added warmth) an architectural detail that adds texture, warmth, acoustic comfort, and authentic character. The large living room features vaulted and beamed ceilings, a gas fireplace with exposed brick, and leads directly to the sunroom. The spacious floor plan offers incredible flexibility, including the potential for a main-floor primary suite or private in-law arrangement. A generously sized bedroom, adjacent family room with a gas fireplace, and nearby fully updated (2023) bathroom (with walk-in shower) creates an ideal space for multigenerational living, extended guests, or anyone seeking first-floor living. The kitchen has been beautifully updated (2019)! Upstairs find three very generous bedrooms. This home was orininally built for a family with lots of kids, so the largest bedroom has three separate areas for beds, including three closets and built in drawers. The additional two bedrooms are also generous in size and have abundant closet space. These three bedrooms share a full bathroom. The basement is unfinished. The oversized two car garage features a Level 2 EV charger! The huge corner lot is lovely and very easy to maintain, backyard is fully fenced. All carpeting in the home was replaced in August of 2026, battery back up sump pump new in 2026. Some additional important updates: Furnace is approx 10 years old, AC approx 7 years old. Roof was done in 2018, along with many windows. The neighborhood is a fantastic place to call home. It's delightful to walk under the mature trees, wave to neighbors, live near Prisco's and Spartan House...and to be an easy commute via the Metra or I-88.

About this area
Find homes for sale in Aurora, Iowa and learn about the local community and real estate market.
Aurora has a rich history that extends back centuries and is steeped in heritage. It was initially founded as a settlement by pioneers looking for a place to thrive in the Midwest. Officially incorporated in 1889, as time passed, the city’s small-town identity and atmosphere thrives, although the population is under 200. Rich in farming, historic sites and monuments, and a plethora of recreational activities, Aurora is conveniently located near larger cities for modern amenities.
Aurora City Park is a popular amenity for locals and nearby residents alike, where you can enjoy the trail, playgrounds, pavilions for gatherings, and a truck and tractor pull track. Looking to expand their outdoor activities, locals can take a short car ride to the 2,000 acre Backbone State Park where boating, fishing, hiking, and rock climbing are popular pastimes. And, of course, this close-knit community is no stranger to annual events. From the fireworks show in July to the Fall Vendor and Craft Show, there is something for all to relish throughout the seasons. Community members can also join local clubs that host social gatherings, fundraisers, and other events, such as the American Legion, the community fitness center, and the volunteer fire department.
Neighborhoods are much like what you would imagine from many years ago – farms tucked away amid green pastures, tree-lined country roads, and a few pockets of neighborhoods with tree-lined streets where everyone knows your name and welcomes you.
