I’ve been waiting years to get a look inside this house.
📍1655 E. Walnut
One of Springfield's only true Spanish-style homes, tucked into the Walnut Street Historic District and sitting on nearly an acre. From the original terracotta roof and stucco exterior to the courtyards, copper gutters, and incredible outdoor spaces, there's really nothing else like it here.
The details are what make it special. Original terracotta tile, oak floors, hexagon tile in the original bathroom, radiant heat, vintage light fixtures, and architecture that feels completely transported from another part of the country.
It was designed by Springfield architect Wilmer N. Thompson and was significant enough to be featured in a national architecture publication when it was built. At a time when Spanish-style homes were common in California, this one stood entirely alone in Springfield.
And after admiring it from the street for years, it was even better than I expected.
This home is currently listed by 417 Property Pros at KW for $799,900. Thanks to for sending over the history!
