Classic Character, Modern Appeal 

 

542 E. Delmar:  This Sears and Roebuck Kit Home is owned by Cara and Jerry Hartfield. It is thought to have been built around 1926. True to the Craftsman style, the interior is comfortable and functional with numerous "built-ins" and plans for more! While the current owners consider this a work in progress, they're sure you will love it as much as they do.

 

606 E. Delmar:  This red brick, Craftsman style bungalow is deceptive...there’s more space within than a casual glance would indicate. Built in 1927 for Emma & H. R. Wade, the abstract of title stipulates that no house shall be built upon said premises costing less than $2,000 and shall contain no barn or stable.  This inviting home was renovated by Phil & Joyce Schickedanz, who retired here in 2002.  more info

 

601 E. Catalpa:  A small house will hold as much happiness as a big one.  That's how the owners of this 827 square foot Tudor Cottage feel.  Karl Bissman built this house in the late 20's for E.E.E. McJimsey, the owner of the Springfield Republican.  It was a wedding present for his daughter and her new husband, Gus Fallon.  Mr. Fallon owned the local Evenrude boat dealership.  The house abounds with character.  Lynne Mitchell is the third proud owner to live in this charming home, and will be delighted to show you around.

 

1025 S. Roanoke:  This home has been a work in progress since it's purchase in February 2003 by Susie Poindexter.  Built in the Craftsman style, this house is a modest 1100 square feet, yet boasts 23 windows.  It has a small courtyard, perfect for entertaining.  Susie has decorated her little jewel box in a French Country Cottage style.

1040 S. Roanoke:  This Mediterranean-style home was built for Walter McCanse in 1923. Friends of ours recall playing on the lawn as children in the 1950's. The wall separating the front and back yards was added by Bill and Paula Rosen in the 1970's. Julie & Bill Zaslow are the sixth owners of this property and have been working on restoring and updating the home and grounds, with fluctuating bursts of energy and new projects, for the past thirteen years.

1033 S. Roanoke:  Built in 1927 as the wedding present for the daughter of a local business owner, the home features original oak woodwork, coffered ceilings, and oak hardwood floors. Generous use of Mission style architectural elements inside and a symmetrical exterior illustrate the stylistic features popular in homes of this era. A mix of vibrant colors and a blend of decorating styles update the interior of this classic example of Colonial Revival architecture.  Bryan Sanders and Brad Ferguson invite you to enjoy your visit to their home.

537 E. Loren:  This classic 1923 Cape Cod utilizes a unique brick-over-hollow-tile construction, has 33 windows for ventilation, radiant steam heat, a central fireplace, an upstairs "mother-in-law" apartment with 2nd floor porch and red/yellow-oak flooring. Occupied by the Murrell family since 1959, a recently completed three-year total renovation retained many original features.

 

1334 S. Virginia:  This small cottage-like house was designed and built n 1947 by a young architect for his bride. She lived here for the rest of her life. The house was updated in the mid-nineties. There is a sense of spaciousness, with larger windows throughout. The views of the park are enjoyed all year by it's current owner Susan Sanford.
