About the home
1227 N 3rd Street sits in Springfield's Historic Enos Park neighborhood, minutes from downtown Springfield and the medical district. Public records list the home at roughly 1,812 square feet with a detached two-car garage, on a quiet residential block of North 3rd Street.
Beds & baths: 2–3 bedrooms and 1–1½ bathrooms across two stories (listing records vary slightly on the exact count).
Age & character: A classic wood-frame home from Enos Park's main period of development in the late 1800s to early 1900s — the era behind the block's deep front porches, tall windows, and mature tree canopy.
Historic Enos Park: Enos Park is Springfield's oldest neighborhood, named for Pascal P. Enos — one of the four original landowners whose quarter-sections became the town of Springfield. The surrounding addition was platted in 1857 by his son Zimri Enos, and by the early twentieth century had grown into a diverse, walkable community of merchants, tradespeople, and city officials. Today it remains one of Springfield's most storied historic neighborhoods, actively preserved by the Enos Park Neighborhood Improvement Association, just north of downtown and the Illinois State Capitol complex.
