Rarely does a custom home of this caliber grace the market; now's your chance to own a stunning piece of art and history! Carefully designed by Frank Weber, student of Frank Lloyd Wright's Prairie School of Architecture in Chicago, this spacious ranch embodies elements of California Arts & Crafts, Mediterranean, and Arabic architectural styles as well as FLW specific touches. Appreciate the compression and expansion of the entryway into an enormous livingroom with soaring domed ceilings, original murals, built-ins, leaded and stained glass windows, and an indoor cherub fountain in the sun soaked solarium. One of the first fully electric homes in Decatur there are operational original chandeliers and wall sconces throughout. Office can flex as den or even another bedroom if desired. Ample storage, additional parking in attached portico, heated breezeway, whole house generator, and kitchen floor heaters add to customization. If you want something truly special, Welcome Home!!

This spectacular, historic home is an outstanding example of restoring a home to its original beauty and glory while gracefully incorporating current trends and amenities. It is unique in that it embodies a number of architectural styles including Arts & Crafts, Mediterranean, and others. The architect was Frank Weber who studied under Frank Lloyd Wright at the Prairie School of Architecture in Chicago. The 4 season solarium has a slate floor and a working fountain. There are domed ceilings, original woodwork and murals, leaded and stained glass windows, arched doorways and much more. Since 2001, virtually everything has been upgraded and updated. There a new EE boiler, AC, and roof. The original stucco has been maintained and is in excellent condition. Cherry cabinets, granite counters, a travertine floor, and stainless appliances enhance the kitchen. Of the 4 bedrooms, 2 are in the lower level. There is an attached 2 car garage, but the attached portico holds 4 more cars. There is even a whole house generator in case the city power goes out. A circular drive enhances the front of the home while a patio and lovely landscaping makes for a pleasant backyard. Additionally, Dennis school, in cooperation with Millikin University, is now a magnet school through 8th grade. Walk into this beauty and the stress of daily work will fade away. Walk into this beauty and every day becomes a vacation.
