1340 Wiggins Ave, Springfield, IL 62704

This impressive all-brick, 5 bedroom home is just steps from Washington Park. It was designed by prominent architect Harry Reiger in the popular English country style popular in the 1920s. A home of uncompromised quality, it has beautiful natural woodwork, hardwood floors, and windows to take in the surrounding views. A major renovation in 2007 included a new slate roof, copper gutters and downspouts, new roof over screened porch, new electrical in most of the house, new plaster ceilings and walls, refinished hardwood floors, finished third floor, and hard-wired smoke and CO detectors. Outside, enjoy mature landscaping on a park-like, extra-wide lot. The screened-in porch offers private relaxation with views of both front and back yards, and the stone patio is accessible from both the kitchen and sunroom. Altogether, it is poetry in mortar and brick!
