INVESTORS! Here is your chance to bring a piece of Springfield’s history back to its glory! This 1894 historic home is stunning on the outside, but will require extensive renovation on the interior. Boasting over 4,400 square feet, this property was previously used as a two family home but most recently as a grand single family. With five bedrooms and four bathrooms, the options are endless for usage. Originally owned by Lillian McKnight, the only daughter of Springfield developer William McKnight for which the neighborhood was named - this gem of a home is ready to shine again!
McKnight Historic District, located between State Street and Wilbraham Road, is a historic and residential Springfield neighborhood with ornate Victorian streetscapes and a leafy, park-like feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the State Street corridor near the Springfield Museums campus, where galleries, cafés, and civic buildings set a cultured, walk-and-look pace. Painted Ladies, Queen Annes, and Shingle-style homes line wide sidewalks, with porches and turrets creating a strong sense of architectural continuity. Tree canopies and small greens soften the grid and frame long views toward downtown. Community life often orbits nearby anchors like the Springfield Museums, Symphony Hall, and the Basketball Hall of Fame.
