All four units have been remodeled with 1 being an efficiency, 2 units are 1 bedroom, and the final unit is a 2 bedroom. New flooring, tile, cabinets, light fixtures, freshly painted, new stove and refrigerator in each unit are just some of the many updates in this terrific investment opportunity. Off street and street parking available. Top floor has storage but could possibly be finished for an additional unit.
Old Aristocracy Hill, located between Downtown Springfield and Washington Park, is a historic and residential Springfield neighborhood with stately Victorian-era streetscapes and a bluff-top setting above the city grid. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along 5th Street near the Illinois Governor’s Mansion, where brick sidewalks, porch-lit blocks, and a quiet, ceremonial pace set the tone. Architectural details lean toward ornate cornices, turreted rooflines, and deep front porches that frame mature trees. The Dana-Thomas House anchors the area’s design legacy with Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie School lines. A short walk north, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum adds a cultural counterpoint to the residential calm. Side streets feel tailored for strolling, with pocket gardens and landmark homes shaping the daily rhythm.
