Property Description
New Roof just installed on this majestic Walnut Street Historical district estate. An exquisite turn-of-the-century Craftsman home was the former residence of Dr. Busiek, a Springfield pediatrician & avid tennis player. Set on approximately 1.31 acres in the treasured Roundtree School district, this remarkable estate blends Springfield history, architectural grandeur and modern luxury accommodation to perfection and now has a brand-new roof! Its history extends beyond the home itself. From the 1920s through the 1980s, the property's tennis court was home to the Springfield Tennis Club, a distinctive legacy. Ready for your enjoyment and perfect entertainment area large enough for any special occasion gathering. You'll also find a basketball court, sweeping covered porches and authentic leaded-glass entry doors open to beautiful hardwood floors, majestic wood columns & grand staircase. Numerous vintage chandeliers & new plantation shutters. Two gas fireplaces add warmth, including one with an exquisite French marble mantel. Two sunrooms, 4+ bedrooms, two full & two half baths offer generous living space. The kitchen features custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a gas range and double ovens. Heated floors warm the kitchen, bathrooms & basement. The glamorous primary suite features an extraordinary walk-in dressing room with custom dressers and glass-enclosed cabinetry. Its opulent bath offers double sinks, a makeup vanity with its own sink, a soaking tub, and a deluxe walk-in shower. The refinished basement offers surround sound, a full bar, wine chiller & a concealed bookcase leading to a safe room with a valuables safe & exterior escape hatch. Mature grounds, an Italian-style fountain & a dedicated irrigation well complete this extraordinary property. Minutes from MSU & downtown, the Busiek House is more than a home-it is an opportunity to become the next steward of a distinctive part of Springfield History.
