Property Description

Welcome to a solid, build-to-last home in one of Aurora's most convenient west-side locations-just minutes from Aurora University, downtown, parks, shopping, and commuter routes. This is the kind of property that gives you space, character, and real potential to make it completely your own. Inside, you'll find two main-level bedrooms (approx. 8x9 each) with hardwood flooring underneath the carpet-ready for your next upgrade and fresh finish. Upstairs, the home features a fully finished attic, offering extra flexible living space that can be used as a bedroom, office, playroom, or creative retreat. The heart of the home is a warm, country-style kitchen with granite countertops, a stainless steel stove, and a dishwasher + refrigerator combo, paired beautifully with vintage cabinetry and tons of storage-classic charm with modern function. This home offers two full bathrooms, both updated, one of them with granite countertops, a redone tub, and safety bars for added comfort and accessibility. You'll love the layout with a separate living room and family room, featuring custom ceilings, plus solid wood detailing throughout that gives the home a rich, timeless feel. Picture yourself stepping into a space that's already full of character-then layering it with your own colors, textures, and style. Downstairs, the home continues with a finished open basement, already wired for a vintage surround sound system-and yes, the speakers stay with the home, making it ready for movie nights, game days, or entertaining. Additional highlights include: Front Porch for breeze summers, Ceiling fans in every main-level room Large laundry Area Detached 2-car garage Long concrete driveway with 6+ parking spaces Fenced backyard Humidifier system + central A/C Water heater replaced in 2023 If you're looking for a home with strong bones, unique details, and room to personalize, 165 Franklin is a standout opportunity.
