Built in 1923, this beautifully preserved Craftsman-style residence sits at the heart of Carbondale's historic Arbor District- the city's early twentieth-century neighborhood. Within walking distance of downtown Carbondale, Southern Illinois University, and Memorial Hospital, the Arbor District has long been home to residents deeply engaged in the city's civic, academic, and cultural life. This two-story, 3064 square-foot home offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Twenty-four windows on the main level fill the home with daylight. The kitchen features custom-built cabinetry, granite countertops, and a 36-inch five-burner DCS cooktop. An adjacent breakfast nook and sliding glass door open to a private rear deck. Upstairs are three spacious bedrooms with generous closets and a fully remodeled bathroom. The finished basement provides a laundry room, a former darkroom or craft area with water hookups, and space for home offices, studios, or flexible living arrangements. The plumbing and electricity have been redone throughout the house. Original mirrors, period light fixtures, and architectural details remain throughout reflecting the craftsmanship of the era. The property has received a City of Carbondale Historic Preservation Award and a Bright Spot Award, and its landscaping has been featured in The Wall Street Journal. This offers a rare opportunity to own a solidly built, carefully maintained slice of history.
