About this home
Single Family · Built 1910 · Historic
Welcome to 218 Forest Ave, where the hard work is already done and all you have to do is move in and argue over who gets the biggest bedroom. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath charmer has been completely refreshed from top to bottom. The kitchen is brand-new with modern cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and enough counter space to finally justify that air fryer purchase. Both bathrooms have been gutted and glamorized. Inside, you'll find new carpet and laminate flooring throughout. The extra large backyard is perfect for summer BBQs or tossing the football around. The 1.5-car garage means you can park your car and still store that box of random holiday decorations you swear you'll organize someday. With a newer roof overhead, you can relax knowing the only thing dripping will be your ice cream cone on a hot day. First floor bedroom and full bath, and another full bath upstairs. Best of all, you're minutes from downtown Aurora for dining, entertainment, and nightlife, with easy access to I-88. Schedule today, This BOO-TIFUL home is all TREATS, no TRICKS!
