About this home
A home with an Urbana State Street address creates visions of picturesque neighborhoods with homes of varied architectural styles and the convenient location to UIUC and all things Urbana. The curb appeal of this Cottage style home is no exception featuring the 2024 wood shake roof with copper flashing. The home is the Estate of a UIUC School of Music Professor who taught Voice and Diction for 42 years. The home was her residence for 30+ years. Constructed in 1932, multi level architecture was a less common design built with the intention of maximized living space without increasing the home's footprint, this home epitomizes that style. There are 3 above ground levels plus a floored attic accessed by steps, a finished lower level and an unfinished partial basement. The home has 4 bedrooms, office/flex room, 2 full baths and 2 Car detached garage. A charming portico protects from inclement weather and guides to the front door. Once inside, the interior entry opens to the main level comprised of the living room, the dining room and the kitchen. Original hardwood floors, arched doorways, crown molding, period wall sconces, gas log fireplace with period surround and good natural light add to the homes welcoming charm. A generously sized dining room will easily accommodate larger gatherings. The kitchen is functional with ample cabinet and counter space, a handy butcher block peninsula with seating space and a slate tile floor. A kitchen side door accesses the driveway and exterior. The lower level with daylight windows includes a large family room with new (8/2025) LVP flooring, a full bath with walk-in shower and a generous work/mudroom complete with cabinetry, sink, counter, terra cotta tile flooring and exterior access to the backyard and garage. An unfinished partial basement houses mechanicals, laundry and more useful storage. A short flight of steps leads from the living room to the 2nd level which houses 2 bedrooms and a shared full bathroom. The carpeted bedroom has hardwoods beneath. The 3rd level features 2 more good-sized bedrooms plus an office/flex room with knotty pine walls and built-ins. There may be hardwood flooring under 3rd level carpeting. The 623 SF attic IS NOT included in the listing square footage and a plus for whatever use and superb storage. The lovely backyard and patio provides space for outdoor enjoyment and is fenced on 3 sides. The home's long driveway provides great off street parking and the detached garage has a fully floored 2nd level accessed by a staircase...SO MUCH STORAGE!! The home is equipped with central vac, Pella and Anderson windows and was rewired in the 1990's. Though the mechanicals have some age, they work well and have been routinely serviced by Bash Heating/AC. A new 6" gutters system was installed late 2024, Shake roof on house and new garage roof late 2024. The house and garage exterior were painted in 2024. The exterior landscaping was refreshed 8-2025 by Ludwig Bros. Inc and the new owner will have the pleasure of watching it mature. The home has been pre inspected by Healthy Homes for your convenience and is available on request. I'm told the neighbors are friendly and the welcoming neighborhood is a wonderful place to live. Well built and exuding character, this home may be the one you've been waiting to give new life and make it your own. Come visit, you'll be glad you did.
