About this House

Prepare to be impressed! This house is full of charming character, beautiful woodwork, and a surprising amount of square footage (2,802 feet according to the tax assessor) giving you lots of layout options. Tax records state that the home was built in 1900 but the owners believe the date of 1964 on the 2 story barn might be the actual construction year of the original stone part of the house. The attention to details you'd expect in a home of this era are still intact-10' ceilings, oversized trim & baseboard, crown moldings, built-in cabinetry, hardwood floors, etcetera-and in fantastic condition! 1979 brought a huge, redwood sided, 3 level addition that continued on with the tradition of handcrafted woodwork and quality craftsmanship. The main level features two massive sized bedrooms (were his and hers Master Bedrooms during their 44 years of ownership), two full Bathrooms, and five additional rooms besides the Kitchen giving you plenty of space to flex however you desire; potentially including a formal Living or Dining Room, spacious home Office, Library, Playroom, cozy Family Room, Music or Craft Room, the list goes on. The second floor showcases two more large Bedrooms plus the third full Bathroom. This area could also make a nice related living arrangement. The full, walkout basement houses the Laundry (several potential location options to move it to the 1st or 2nd floor), lots of dry storage, all the mechanicals including both furnaces (zoned), a workshop, and the attached Garage. The exterior of both the home and 2 barn were just stained/painted in July 2023. The home is in great shape with no known defects but being sold As-Is.
540 5th St, Aurora, IL 60505 is a 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2,802 sqft single-family home. It last sold for the $299,900 asking price on Nov 20, 2023. This property is not currently displayed as for sale or rent on Trulia. The Trulia Estimate is $434,100, with a rent estimate of $3,556/month.

    "We were one of the first home owners on Reflections Dr when it all was new construction in 1999. It was our first home, we lived there for 19 yrs raising our 2 kids starting them at Nancy young elementary when it first opened, then they went to granger middle school and then to Metea Valley high school when it first opened. The 204 school district was a great district to be in. We loved our time living there, the memories and lifelong friends we made over the years will always be precious to us and our now grown children. The entire area was great, kid friendly, clean, well kept and safe then and it still seems to be that way whenever we return for a visit. We are now retired living in Arizona but we get back there from time to time to visit friends that are still living there and it is still just as nice and safe as we remember it, now with even more restaurants and places on Route 59 and in the area. If you get the opportunity to live and raise your family there you won’t regret it. We still really miss it."

    "It was mostly quiet but I honestly did not spend too much time outside my own neighborhood growing up. The area by Washington middle school and San sucy was very nice and the people were nice. Nice nature trail near by and lots of activities for families. I do not currently live in the area any longer and have not for years but as I remembered it, it was lovely and you never had to worry about your kids playing outside since everyone was so friendly and knew each other. Overall the people in the San sucy area were what the neighborhood great. Looked out for each other and always looked out for each other’s pets when they ran from the house."
