Description
Nestled in the heart of Urbana's University District, surrounded by a collection of stately, historic homes, this timeless treasure has not graced the market in nearly 70 years. Overflowing with character and charm, this property is a dream come true for lovers of historic architecture. From the original hardwood floors and intricate woodwork to the ornate fireplace mantels and eccentric crown moldings, every corner of this home tells a story of its distinguished past. As you step into the grand foyer, spanning 27 feet, you are immediately attracted to the impressive staircase that serves as the centerpiece of the space. Above, fleur-de-lis crown molding adds a regal touch and continues seamlessly into the second-level grand hall. To your left, the foyer opens into an elegant living room, or parlor, featuring ornate gold crown molding and a stately fireplace with a mirrored mantel that reflects the room's rich details. On the right, a second, oversized living room commands attention with a floor-to-ceiling bay window, built-in glass-front bookcases, and a second elaborate fireplace mantel. Double 15-lite glass French doors lead from this room into a sunroom, or breakfast room, boasting walls of windows that overlook the wooded backyard. The dining room is a masterpiece in its own right, showcasing a third fireplace and also breathtaking hand-painted wall murals inspired by Charles Dickens' novels, with intricate detail that captures the imagination. Completing the main level are a functional kitchen, a full bath, and a screened-in patio with a built-in stone grill. Upstairs, the second level continues to impress with 3-4 spacious bedrooms and a bonus room that can be transformed into additional living space. Other features are the 2-car attached garage, partial basement and the close proximity to all the Downtown restaurants and shops. Bring your decorating ideas and journey into history making a perfect blend of elegance and character that rarely comes to market.
