Property Description
Overlooking Abraham Lincoln's Home/National Historic Site, this 3-bedroom Italianate-style home is steeped in Springfield's rich history. Built in the 1850s and once known as The Inn on Edwards, this property has served as offices for local political figures, a charming Bed & Breakfast, and most recently a single family home. Set on a commercial-zoned lot, the home offers endless potential—whether as a personal residence, B&B, or business venture. Inside, you'll find tall ceilings, original hardwoods, and timeless architectural details preserved throughout. A graceful wrap-around staircase leads to three spacious upstairs bedrooms and one full bathroom. 2/3 beds offer a private half bath (in need of finishing) and 1br has deck access overlooking the neighborhood's historic scenery. The main level features an expansive layout with a large kitchen and a spiral staircase descending to the basement, formal dining room w/1/2 bath for guests, and a spacious living room with original ornate fireplace still intact! While many updates have been completed, the property is ready for your finishing touches: interior refreshes, fresh paint, and boiler repair will help restore this Springfield treasure to its full potential. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a truly historic home in an unbeatable location—steps away from the heart of Springfield's heritage and all downtown amenities! Motivated seller is open to all reasonable offers!
