Love the Farmhouse look? This is the real thing! Stunning complete remodel of Judge Worthy Taylor's 1860 historic Aurora home on 1.6 acres of rolling lawn and trees. The 1st thing you'll notice is the gorgeous 1" thick solid pine floor as you enter through a beautiful vintage front door. Such careful attention has been paid to reveal handhewn beams and reflections of yesteryear while adding all the latest appliances, lighting and beautiful finishes. The layout of this home was lightly rearranged to flow through opened rooms, add baths, first flr laundry. Modern usability includes a mudroom entry w/laundry and featuring large windows and high ceilings. Step into a beautiful navy kitchen with soft close cabinetry, farm sink, stunning tile back splash, quartz counters & original handhewn beams that highlight the fantastic juxtaposition of the old and new. A big picture window warms the Dining Room. In the LR the original mantle and wood burning fireplace are ready for cozy nights and exposed beams are lit by natural light from the multiple windows. Completing the first floor is a beautifully tiled half bath and screened side porch. That huge backyard says frisbee, soccer and gardening! The list of What's New is just...Everything. From all new electrical, plumbing, HVAC, windows, entire interior, roof & water well, to landscaping, this is a walk in and drop your suitcase move. To top the list, there is free gas and with gas stove, furnace, HWT and gas dryer, utilities are a bare minimum! 2 cars. A little Aurora History: Judge Taylor hired an itinerant farmhand named Jim. Jim noticed Judge Taylor's lovely daughter Annabelle and asked permission to court her. The irate Judge shut him down with a "no account farmhand isn't getting my daughter!". Welll..."Jim" was inaugurated in 1881 as the 20th President of the USA, James A. Garfield! Amazing Aurora, home to great restaurants and entertainments, and the award winning top ranked Aurora school system. Next Chapter!
