About this home

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 and the window air conditioners have been replaced by 3 mini-split units, allowing for more zoning flexibility if desired.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!

About West End Historic

District

West End Historic District, located between Millikin University and downtown Decatur, is a historic and residential Decatur neighborhood with tree-lined streets and early-20th-century architecture. The district reads as a catalog of Craftsman bungalows, Tudor Revival details, and broad front porches set behind mature canopy trees. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Millikin University campus edge, where brick academic buildings and shaded sidewalks set a collegiate cadence. Kirkland Fine Arts Center anchors the cultural calendar with performances and exhibitions. Nearby, the Decatur Area Arts Council adds gallery energy and community programming. Pocket parks and walkable blocks keep daily routines grounded in the streetscape.
