Well, here it is, your DREAM HOME. Even WE couldn't believe this amazing historic home when we walked in the door. If you are a historic home lover and are looking for the perfect home, in the perfect historic neighborhood, with the perfect amount of DIY then THIS is the beauty for you.
This home was built just after the Victorian Era, and combines elements if Beaux Arts, Jacobean, Arts and Crafts: she's a true eclectic mix. Built in 1917 by the Mueller family, this beautiful home contains all the best elements of the day. Inside you'll find a Jacobean or Tudor style ceiling, fireplace, incredible plaster ceiling in the entryway, hex tile on the floors, original windows and SO much more.
During the Great Depression the original family, like so many others, were hit hard by economic crisis. In a successful bid to keep the home the owners divided the enormous home into three full units, and that is how it remains to this day. The changes take nothing away from the beauty of the home, but it does make this home fantastic for a single family, an airbnb, or best yet a wedding venue!
The extensive grounds include a three car garage with the original chaufeurs quarters which could be another income producing property. The enormous yard would be the perfect place for a wedding, and the backyard backs up to the historic neighborhood of Millikin Place, the homeplace of the founders of Millikin University which is just blocks away.
This beautiful historic home awaits its next caretakers. It needs just the right amount of home renovation for those who crave getting their hands dirty, or could be move in ready for the perfect family.

On one level some beautiful features, but the subdividing into three units makes this place, at times, a dog's dinner. Let us see this place is 100+ years old and has many original features (single pane windows or rads, for example), so what is behind the walls or under the floors? This place looks like the ultimate money pit. Could you bring it up to its original glory and fully modernized for less than a million dollars?

It's eclectic!! LOL! Such an interesting roof line, almost Olde Dutch at the top, but then there are the Gothic Revival window and door surrounds in between Neo-Classical Revival pilasters and urns. Inside...so many rooms! I love the decorative tile floor in the butler's pantry and (I'm assuming) original kitchen. And all of those fun little features, like the intercom/phone, fancy doorknobs, hidey-hole cupboards, and art glass surprises. The original owners must have had 'staff', likely including a chauffeur, but I'm surprised to see so many homes in northern states with a carriage house/garage so far from the house. Here in S. CA, we whine about hauling in the groceries when it's raining and most modern houses are built with garages attached. I'm just picturing the amount of snow shoveling required to get the car out. :0 Great music choice. I also like that you are including footage of the neighborhood...I counted three Prairie style houses, though that's probably not a surprise for Illinois. It's really fun to see homes in different parts of the country. Thank you!

It could be a beautiful bed and breakfast, with all the rooms, and living quarters, and baths. New Hvac would cost a fortune, there is obviously no duct work, for heating or cooling, must be a big boiler for all of the radiators in each room, just a beautiful design on the outside, it seems very well kept, besides some aging on windows and such, put this in S.E. Michigan near a lake, it`s 1.5 - 2M no problem at all, the price amazes me.

Surprisingly plain bathrooms, mantels, and interior rchitectural detail, such as servant call panels, original light fixtures, detailed radiators, built-ins and kitchen and bathroom cabinetry. However, the home is pristine and transitions flawlessly into today's housing needs and expectations...even the plain white subway tile fits with today's HGTV detor.. Looks like an enviable neighborhood of large, well maintained, gracious mature homes. Unbelievable price.

Large homes, a mix of styles like this neighborhood, earliest built in 1880s most built in 1920s, all lovingly maintained. Was cool to see some Prairie Style, along with Colonial Revival, Arts and Crafts, and others. The last one you showed, the Italianate in Milliken Place looked like the oldest of the bunch, maybe 1870s? There is a similar one on the campus of Chico State University in California, called the Bidwell Mansion that was built in 1868.

Stunning home! I’m not a fan of open concept but, if I owned it, I’d be finding a way to carve out a larger kitchen. I suppose it would be easier if I turned it back into a one-family. Removing the kitchens in the “apartments” would definitely free up a lot of space. I live in Louisville KY which has the largest collection of Victorian-style mansions in the country, and almost all of them have a tiny kitchen. I realize that was common when they were built, but still. The ones which do have a large kitchen start at $1,000,000 and go up from there.
