Description

GORGEOUS RIVER VIEWS FROM THE YARD, DECK AND INTERIOR OF THIS STATELY CHRISTIAN HILL BRICK HOME. This one of a kind home was designed in the early 1900's by Lucas Pfeiffenberger, who designed dozens of mansions and public buildings in Alton. According to the owners this home was built for riverboat captain and brick similar to the Beall Mansion was brought from New Orleans. This home has wonderful natural woodwork throughout, large rooms with high ceilings, original millwork, and transom windows above many of the doors. As you enter, there is a lovely staircase and an office or sitting room with a working pocket door. The dining room has a fireplace and opens to the delightfully updated kitchen with views of the River. The kitchen has newer cabinets, an island, and granite countertops. The kitchen opens to a spacious eating area that looks out over the bluffs. The third floor could easily be finished for additional living area.

    "This is a beautiful neighborhood with a lot of diversity. It has character and old fashion appeal. Large homes, duplex and apartments with its originality. The community has survived the worst although the love and spirit of the city is here. Perfectly located in the middle of everything, the smell of Fast Eddies Chicken or fried rice from the Hong Kong house decorates the air. I love it here, it’s safe with the beautiful mixture of people from all walks of life. Like with any city this area has its flaws, yet the flaws is what makes the beauty of it all!"
