Home Details for 1751 Gary Avenue

Well-located 1966 tri-level home on a QUIET DEAD-END STREET in Marywood Acres in unincorporated Aurora, offering PRIVACY, LOW TRAFFIC, and strong potential. Owned by only the SECOND OWNERS for nearly 13 years, this habitable home is being SOLD AS-IS and is well suited for an owner-occupant looking to improve over time or a buyer seeking an investment opportunity. --- The tri-level layout offers a comfortable flow and abundant natural light. The kitchen features recently replaced wood laminate flooring, NEWER MAPLE CABINETRY, NEW SAMSUNG stainless steel appliances (a HUGE refrigerator, a GAS stove with a center burner, and a new dishwasher), and a LARGE STAINLESS STEEL SINK. --- The kitchen flows into a dining area surrounded by windows, which opens to the living room (LOTS OF NATURAL LIGHT ON THE MAIN FLOOR). --- A short stairway off the living room leads to the bedroom level, providing separation without excessive stairs. --- The attached garage is conveniently located off the kitchen. --- Recent improvements include ALL NEW WINDOWS AND EXTERIOR DOORS (October 2025), a NEW GARAGE DOOR, an UPDATED ELECTRICAL SERVICE PANEL (approx. 3 years old), and a NEW CONCRETE PATIO adjacent to a screened-in patio. ORIGINAL NARROW-PLANK HARDWOOD FLOORS throughout (except the kitchen) are present and ready for refinishing. --- The home is heated by energy-efficient baseboard heat (the heating unit is approx. 10 years old), and the owner has a certificate indicating the roof was replaced in 2009 by the previous owner (the 1st/original owner). --- The partial ENGLISH basement (776 SF) includes an existing bathroom that is currently non-functional and has potential for future restoration. The crawl space is dry. --- NEWER FRONT-LOAD WASHER AND DRYER. --- The backyard backs to non-buildable land, providing added PRIVACY, and is near Indian Creek Park and the Illinois Prairie Path trail. While additional updates and repairs are needed, some major work has already been completed, creating a solid opportunity to build equity in a peaceful, well-connected location.
