1341 W Downer Pl., Aurora, IL 60506

In 1927, Aurora lumberyard owner, Albert Mall, hires noted architect, Herbert Spieler, to build his dream home. The building site was perfect -- at the far west end of town on a double-lane, boulevard-divided street with 100 year old trees. Aurora is bustling and other industrialists were building their "mansions" in the neighborhood. The result of Spieler's vision and Mall's endless supply of beautiful millwork was a RESOUNDING SUCCESS. This unique brick home features english half-timbering, a true slate roof with copper gutters, and some of the most beautiful old-growth woodwork you'll ever see. The entry hall is gorgeous and all the rooms are graciously large. Upstairs are four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Their 3-season porch overlooks a koi pond and stunning patio. Completing the package is a yard with arboretum-quality mature trees. Very well maintained and kept up-to-date over the years, this is a SUPERB offering!
