Sited on 2/3 acre lot which backs up to Millikin Place & Frank Lloyd Wright homes, this Italianate beauty was built in 1915 by Frank and Leda Mueller Cruikshank. It was touted as "one of the finest dwellings in the state. " Leda was the daughter of Hieronymous Mueller (founder of Mueller Co. ). After her husband's death, Leda converted the house to 3 apartments (2 are currently occupied). She lived in the two story apartment herself. Much of the home is still original. A few of its many features include a sculptured ceiling, leaded glass, lovely solarium (currently a dining room), stair glide, the original kitchen, and a butler's pantry. Every bedroom in the home has its own bathroom, many with original sinks & tile. Several rooms have Tylac which was manufactured by Frank's company in Monticello. The 3 car garage originally had chauffeur's quarters attached (used as storage for many years). Extra tile for the roof is even in storage. Stunning home. One unit has main floor laundry option, others basement. Must see to fully appreciate. Offset your mortgage payment by keeping a renter, or return to single family. 2 year average power bills: $246 for 2 story unit when occupied, $143 for upstairs occupied unit, $43 for unoccupied unit. 1 year home warranty offered.
