Property Description

The historic Solan House is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own one of Champaign's most iconic residences. Originally constructed in 1867, this remarkable 159-year-old Italianate masterpiece is proudly listed on the National Register of Historic Places and seamlessly blends timeless architectural character with the comfort and reliability of modern living. Completely brought up to code in 2021, the home has undergone an extensive transformation while carefully preserving the craftsmanship and historic integrity that make it truly irreplaceable. Inside, thoughtfully modernized kitchens and bathrooms complement the home's original charm, creating a perfect balance between historic elegance and contemporary convenience. Situated on nearly an acre in the heart of town, the property offers an extraordinary level of privacy rarely found in such a central location. Fully fenced grounds, gated access, mature landscaping, paved patios, and beautifully curated outdoor spaces create a private estate-like setting ideal for entertaining or peaceful everyday living. A newly constructed four-car garage with EV charger adds modern functionality and convenience, while the expansive grounds provide endless opportunities to enjoy outdoor living in one of the community's most distinguished historic properties. Located near downtown Champaign and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, the Solan House is more than a home - it is a landmark property that offers the rare chance to own a piece of Central Illinois history without sacrificing the amenities and updates expected today.
