Welcome to the historic John H. Slattery House, originally built in 1903 and beautifully preserved to capture the essence of early Springfield living while offering the comfort of key modern upgrades.Step inside and you’re immediately greeted by soaring 10-foot ceilings, rich architectural detail, and classic picture molding that reflect the craftsmanship of a bygone era. The home underwent a significant renovation in 1993, including a concrete foundation, updated electrical and plumbing, and an expansion of the rear portion of the home—bringing peace of mind without compromising its historic charm.Thoughtful improvements have continued over the years: front porches replaced in 2012, durable LVP flooring installed in 2017, and a new roof in 2022. The bonus room features updated windows and doors, creating a bright, flexible space for work, hobbies, or guests. Fresh interior paint in 2026 gives the home a clean, move-in-ready feel.Out back, a 12’ x 16’ shop (built in 1995) offers great storage or workspace, while paved parking with alley access accommodates up to three vehicles. A 220V connection is already in place for EV charging. Located in the heart of the historic Washburne District, you’re just moments from the river, local restaurants, the library, and public transportation. This is the home people picture when they think of historic downtown Springfield—full of character, history, and soul. Open House Friday April 3rd from 4-7 and Saturday April 4th from 12-3.
