Follow the red brick road to this sweet bungalow located in Urbana's State Street and Leal Elementary School area. This One Storyphome is nestled on a beautiful tree-canopied street with vintage street lights, located one block from Carle Park, convenient to UIUC, Urbana's vibrant downtown and the ever popular Farmer's Market. This welcoming neighborhood is known for it's gatherings and Annual Block Party dating back to 1994. Originally built in 1954 as a duplex, it was thoughtfully converted in the early 1980's to a single family home by the current owner of 40+ years. As a licensed electrician and professional engineer, care was given to every aspect of the conversion. The main floor of the home has 1489 SF comprised of 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, living room, dining room (hardwoods under LR/DR flooring), a fully applianced galley kitchen with spacious pantry closet, generous cabinetry and convenient counter workspace. The Primary bedroom suite includes an updated full bath with a walk-in shower. Generous closet space is found throughout the main floor. The 800+ SF unfinished partial basement provides 3 good sized very usable rooms, super storage and an exterior back exit. Exterior features include a 2 Car detached garage, a lovely landscaped backyard and a 13x15 screen porch for seasonal enjoyment. In an area where it's common to find shared driveways, this home has a long private driveway that provides extra off-street parking. Updates since 2017 include new garage siding, replaced house gutters, soffits, fascia, added gutter guards, cedar siding stained, exterior basement stair retaining wall replaced, screen porch addition with Trex-type floor, concrete driveway replaced, updated Primary full bathroom, washer/dryer 2022, Furnace/AC 2024. Original and conversion blueprints will transfer with the home. For buyer convenience, the home has been pre inspected 12/11 by Healthy Homes and a termite inspection was done 12/16 by Weldon Pest Inspection, reports are available on request. Come visit this sweet charmer...you'll be glad you did!
