Single Family: MLS #12693381

Here's a rare opportunity to own a spacious Urbana ranch in one of the community's established neighborhoods, offering the perfect chance to build equity while creating a home uniquely your own. Nestled among mature trees in a neighborhood known for longtime homeowners, this property enjoys convenient access to shopping, parks, schools, bus service, and the University of Illinois while offering generous living space, timeless ranch design, and exceptional potential. Hardwood flooring extends throughout much of the home, complementing a spacious living room, a comfortable family room featuring a striking stone fireplace and built-in shelving, an eat-in kitchen with abundant cabinetry, convenient main-floor laundry, and an attached two-car garage. Originally designed as a three-bedroom home, the current owner combined two bedrooms to create an oversized primary suite with space for a sitting area, home office, or exercise area. Buyers desiring a separate third bedroom can easily restore the home's original floor plan by reinstalling the dividing wall. Recent improvements include a new roof and leased solar energy system, both installed in 2024, along with a water heater that is approximately five years old. These improvements allow the next owner to focus on making the home their own while enjoying the peace of mind that comes with several significant capital improvements already completed. Homes offering this combination of space, flexibility, and opportunity in an established Urbana neighborhood are becoming increasingly difficult to find. Whether you're purchasing your first home, looking for room to grow, or searching for a home where your updates can build lasting value, 1603 S. Maple offers the opportunity to create a home that reflects your own style while building equity for years to come.
