Step inside this incredible piece of Springfield history and let your imagination run wild. Built in approximately 1873 and known as the "The James T. Jones House". This three story Second Empire/Mansard Style structure is in need of a new owner with the means & expertise to transform her back into a lovely viable home. Main part of home is distressed but features an abundance of space with 4+ bedrooms & 4 full baths, walk-up 3rd level/attic that could be finished into one incredible bonus space. Many original features of the home are still in tact, including the most beautiful angel fireplace cover, hardwood floors & staircase. Building has a small rear-attached 1br/1ba apartment currently rented for $525/mo. Offers a 3 car carriage house style detached garage and a prime location walking distance to downtown amenities such as restaurants, shopping, churches & Springfield Clinic. Building is sold AS-IS - price reflects the need for repairs and finishing.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
