On the Market: Brick Georgian in Aurora
Those who love golf will appreciate living in this lovely home, located in the midst of a community accented by the Stonebridge Country Club, an 18-hole Tom Fazio-designed championship golf course in Aurora.
Imagine watching famed pros and the crowds they attract adorning your neighborhood. That was the experience of residents of Stonebridge when the club hosted the Ameritech Senior Open from 1991 to 1995 and the LPGA Kellogg-Keebler Classic from 2002 to 2004.
This lovely home features four bedrooms, four baths, a finished basement, gourmet island kitchen with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a breakfast room, formal carpeted living and dining rooms, dual staircases, two-story family room with wood-burning fireplace and hardwood floors, first-floor den and first-floor laundry room.
Built in 1995, this brick and cedar home also features a cul-de-sac location, three-car garage and a deck.
