1940 Spanish Eclectic on Nearly Half an Acre, Three Lots — $115,000

Spanish Eclectic is not something you see much in Illinois residential neighborhoods. The style has a specific look — arched details, covered decks with tile work, the kind of exterior that reads as deliberate rather than generic. This one was built in 1940 and it still has those bones, though the agent is upfront that it needs significant work and is selling strictly as-is.

The property is three lots combined, nearly half an acre on a quiet street. That is a lot of land for $115,000. The detached garage is 2.5 cars, there is a brick driveway, and the backyard has a tree fort and existing hardscape. Whatever the house needs inside, the land situation is solid.

At 2,130 square feet, the layout is described as non-traditional, a mix of oversized and smaller rooms across multiple levels. The main floor has a large living area with a gas fireplace and an extra room that could be an office or additional living space. The kitchen has granite counters, stainless appliances, and wood beam ceiling accents. One bathroom on the main floor has been updated with a tile shower and granite vanity. There is also a sunroom and a covered deck with Spanish-inspired detailing.

Upper levels have a large bedroom with a full bath and a finished attic space. The basement is finished too, with a rec room, a bonus room, and a third full bathroom. Three full baths in a 1940 house is unusual, and having finished space at every level gives you flexibility in how you use the square footage.

The agent uses the phrase "poor condition" and asks you to bring a contractor. That is a real number to run before you get too attached to the architecture. But if the structure is sound and the Spanish Eclectic details are intact, this is the kind of property that does not come back around often. Nobody is building this style anymore, and finding it on half an acre at this price is the thing that makes you stop.

Originally listed for $115,000, this property sold for $138,000 on August 31, 2026.
