515 N 8th St , Marshall, IL 62441(Clark County)

Step into a piece of history with this stunning Italianate Victorian-style home built in 1879 by a local merchant, D. D. Doll. The second owner took possession of the home in 1974, making this home only owned by two owners in nearly 146 years. This home is listed on the Historic National Road Art and Architecture Site and on the City of Marshall Landmark. Throughout this home, you will find original woodwork, baseboards, hardwood floors, eloquent pocket doors, four dignified fireplaces, stained glass doors and windows, a Cranberry Glass Chandelier, and antique lighting fixtures throughout the home. The grand foyer welcomes you with a grand wood staircase and is accented with tin chair railing. The parlor has a large built-in bookcase, marble fireplace, and is a great place for playing cards or reading. The dining room features large windows, a timeless chandelier, and a spacious China closet. The master suite features a fireplace and en-suite bathroom with many unique features, including a stained-glass window handcrafted by the owner, and opens up into the sitting room with a large bay window and another marble fireplace. The kitchen is charmed with a remarkable wood, marble, and stained-glass bar that was acquired from the Marshall Candy Kitchen. Some items from it are included, such as canisters, ice cream dishes, a framed menu, and pictures. Also included with the kitchen is a Cooks Delight Victorian Style 6-burner stove. In the kitchen, you will also find a large pantry area and butler's stairs leading to the servants' quarters in the back of the home. Upstairs are three bedrooms with the potential for a 4th. Between the bonus room and the third bedroom are hinged doors that open to allow the rooms to become a large suite. The upstairs also includes a full bathroom with marble sinks and a clawfoot bathtub. On the .6 acre lot is an oversized 2-car garage with a bathroom and a large covered porch. The home sits on a corner lot with breathtaking porches, windows, and landscaping. A home of this grandeur is something to behold and is ready for a new owner to enjoy and love as much as the past two owners.
