739 S Willow Rd Evansville, IN 47714

The large form English Cottage, designed by Anderson and Veach and built for local leader E.G. Geiss in 1928, is on the market and ready to welcome you to Lincolnshire - Evansville's original suburban estate neighborhood. One can describe the home's expansive features - a sprawling, stately 3,699sf; a master bedroom, second bedroom, and full bath with original marble and subway tile on the main level; third and fourth bedrooms, a full bath with new marble flooring, plus a bonus room on the second level; a finished basement with wet bar, half bath, and ample storage/laundry/workshop room below - but these features may pale in comparison to the extraordinary kitchen with custom Maple cabinetry, high end lighting, granite counter tops, and vintage workhorse South Bend range and commercial hood. Indeed, the often desired, seldom acquired truly commercial range is a show stopper, and may frankly make your friends jealous. Are you ready for your kitchen to suddenly become the coolest kitchen of anyone you know? If you aren't a cook you may become an expert. If you are already, it will only make you stronger. Only the 4th owners, a famed Evansville architect and vocal performance professor have kept this roaring 20s home singing with updates, embracing both contemporary and timeless touches. The fireplace in the great room - as well as the limestone steps by the back door - are original to the house and salvaged from a 1920s renovation to the Peoples Savings Bank. The tile in the entryway is original hand-made 1928 Spanish tile. The hardwood cherry floors are new, as are the windows, providing energy efficiency with original architectural details. The home's exterior is a classic English Cottage facade, complete with bell-cast eaves, abundance of stone trim around windows, and projecting gable fronts and keystone lentils above the dining room windows. Enjoy coffee in the enclosed porch with original tile, and watch the sun rise over the world of Lincolnshire. This old house - home to bankers, petroleum engineers, philanthropists, and architects - is ready to be your new home today.
