The Key to Buying or Selling
Set just one block from Urbana’s historic Monument Square District, this beautifully restored vintage residence offers a rare blend of warmth, craftsmanship, and thoughtful modern living. With four bedrooms, one-and-a-half baths, and interiors rich in character, the home carries a sense of authenticity that is increasingly difficult to find.From the moment you step inside, the home reveals itself through layers of original detail and carefully selected updates. Restored 1-inch ash hardwood flooring with handmade nails anchors the foyer, while rich woodwork, inviting living spaces, and a custom oak and carved mahogany newel post create an atmosphere that feels both timeless and deeply personal. Spacious gathering rooms flow naturally throughout the main level, offering a home that feels welcoming rather than manufactured, It’s comfortable, lived in, and genuinely loved.The outdoor living experience is equally compelling. Centered around a massive mature shade tree, the expansive 900+ square foot deck was designed as a true extension of the home. Multiple entertaining and lounging areas create an inviting backdrop for summer evenings, outdoor dining, and relaxed gatherings. Reinforced for a future hot tub setup and surrounded by a custom cedar privacy fence professionally stained in 2025, the backyard feels peaceful, established, and intentionally designed for connection.Extensive improvements provide peace of mind, including updated electrical service, newer mechanicals, updated plumbing components, newer flooring, fresh carpet, and numerous exterior improvements completed throughout ownership.Located within walking distance to downtown Urbana’s shops, restaurants, festivals, and community events, this is more than simply a historic home.. it is a property with soul, character, and a sense of place that cannot be replicated.
