Property Description
Step back in time to comfort and style with this marvelous mid-century modern ranch! Sitting right in the heart of historic Urbana, on a large, double, corner lot, and only 2 blocks from campus, this home is a true gem. Pristine condition, meticulously maintained and beautifully updated, while preserving the original design and features. Quality built by Guy Hoover in 1953 (back when they built homes with extra pride). This 4 bedroom, 2 1/2 bath ~2100 sqft, spacious, one level home was a rare design in an era when sprawling ranches were uncommon and multi-level bungalows were the norm. Architect Wayne Lambert Shick (UIUC professor of architecture) was way ahead of his time with this open layout and large primary bedroom with 3 closets and a full bath! (Be sure not to miss the hand drawn pencil original rendering found in the rafters of the attic). Fabulous floor plan with impressive 8 ft doors/windows facing private backyard. Enormous, 40 ft living/dining room, with tons of natural light pouring in the entire wall of floor to ceiling windows. More original and period appropriate updated characteristics include: beautiful natural maple wood paneling, built-ins and trim, solid 3/4 inch hardwood and tile flooring, marble window sills, and a masonry fireplace with raised hearth. Kitchen with newer appliances, original handmade maple cabinets with pull outs, a sliding door pantry, and a beautiful, custom, curved, 12-ft Quartz island that is open to the main living space. Laundry room and half bath conveniently located between the kitchen and garage. Lots of closet and storage space and even more in the partially floored attic. (with pull down ladder access) Very accessible home with some 32"wide doorways, wider hallways, open bath/sink, garage/back porch ramps and no stairs. Updated 200 amp, 110V/220V electric. Radon system installed. Lower utilities. Fiber optic internet. Huge, 4 bay, 41 x 22 side load, insulated garage with a 2 car garage door. The back 2 bays have a large picture window to the yard and direct access to the living room. Beautiful green views from the living room and the 40-ft screened-in back porch overlooking the private, fenced back yard with mature trees in view and filled with lovely plantings and perennials. Wonderful opportunity to own and enjoy this lovely home, on a tree-lined, coveted State Street with such close proximity to the University. Special homes like this are few and far between, rarely offered, and always sell quickly. You will not be disappointed with this one!
