About 3512 Aurora Ave
Step into this well-loved, time-capsule ranch — 3 beds, 1 bath (plus a surprise bath cameo in the basement... you'll see!) — where everything works, but nothing's changed since bell bottoms were in style. Located in a seriously awesome neighborhood, this charming relic is clean, solid, and begging for a glow-up. Bring your imagination, maybe some avocado green (or not), and get ready to make it yours!
