Don't miss the opportunity to merge history into the present in this 3 bedroom/1 1/2 bath, one-of-a-kind two-story home near Millikin University and just steps from Fairview Park. Swedish immigrant John Benson (founder - Benson Creamery) brought his Swedish inspired architecture to Decatur in 1928 and built this beautifully crafted brick home on this ~ half-acre landscaped lot. You will appreciate the character - front stoop with a circular arch and the covered brick front porch. Inside, mosaic tile covers floors in the foyer, kitchen, and sun room (or office or...). Laundry is conveniently available on the main floor OR the basement. Upstairs, the master bedroom features 3 spacious closets and cedar lined storage. Clean hot water heat provided by a serviced boiler .. and the window air conditioners have been replaced by 3 mini-split units, allowing for more zoning flexibility if desired. The high ceilings and ornate woodwork are accented by stain glass windows. Call your realtor!
