Riverside's premier estate. The stunning historic John F. Palmer Illinois landmark mansion sits on a huge professionally landscaped lot overlooking Longcommon Park. Built in 1895 by renowned architect Joseph L. Silsbee with influence from his apprentice, Frank Lloyd Wright, this home has been exquisitely restored by the present owners. Careful attention has been paid to the many original architectural details which include magnificent natural woodwork, leaded glass windows, hardwood floors, brass light fixtures, 4 fireplaces, a billiard room, and 5 porches. A lovely gourmet kitchen opens to family room and elegant dining room which leads to the foyer, living room and sweeping wide stairway to the second and third floors. Master suite with balcony and dressing room. Amazing sunset views everywhere. Walk-up 4th floor.
