William McKnight House in the McKnight Historic District | 1176 Worthington St, Springfield

Built in 1890, the William McKnight House is the namesake and crown jewel of the McKnight Historic District, built for and by the developer of the neighborhood. Situated between Thompson Triangle park and landscaped Dartmouth Terrace, the property is an oasis in Springfield's garden district, with winding, established gardens of its own. With 4,565 sqft of living space, this historic 6-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom, 5-fireplace, 2-car carriage house home is generously and luxuriously appointed. This home has it all: hardwood, marble, and tile floors; coffered, vaulted, and textured paper mache ceilings; pocket doors; French doors; an original tin ceiling in the butler's pantry; hand-carved fretwork and fireplace mantles; leaded glass; built-ins; Dutch entry door; wrap-around piazza; second-floor balcony. A remodeled kitchen with high-end stainless steel appliances and custom cabinetry exits off to relaxing back porch, into large, fenced-in yard. Remodeled bathrooms. This one is a must-see.
