3122 Illinois Ave

If you are looking for a mini-mansion, don't make a decision until you've seen 3122 Illinois. Stately Romanesque Revival home sits on a quiet cul-de-sac, facing the eastern edge of Benton Park. This space will take your breath away! The interior retains faux-grained pocket doors, original mantles, an intricate plaster crown molding in the living room, & tin ceiling in the kitchen. Yard is oversized with a 2 c garage w opener and storage shed in the rear. TWO veranda porches wrap along the side and to the back. The entire third floor has been newly finish with two bedrooms, a full bath, a movie area and game area. The attic has been dry walled and carpeted to allow a City Museum style hang out that starts with a rolling library ladder and ends with a fire pole into one of the bedrooms. A good deal of updating has already been done (including plumbing, electric & zoned HVAC, new roof with solar panels), but a little more "polish" would make this gem glow. The home features a master bedroom suite, 4 large well-proportioned bedrooms and 4 baths. Potential for main level bedroom. Just steps away from all the upcoming events in the park, and just a stroll away from the Benton Park neighborhood's many gathering places, eateries, & shops!
