Some homes have a story. This one has a legend. Built in 1918 and dramatically reimagined in 1950 with the elegance of Old Hollywood as its muse. Styled after the iconic home of silver screen star Jean Harlow, this extraordinary Collinsville residence is unlike anything else on the market. A true architectural time capsule, it has been lovingly preserved and thoughtfully updated, offering a living experience that is equal parts history and home. The brick exterior, arched front doorway, architectural elements, and covered side porch are highlights of the exterior. Step inside and the details begin to reveal themselves one by one: original hardwood floors that have witnessed over a century of life, a classic built-in phone niche that evokes a more gracious era of living, a grand staircase that speaks to the craftsmanship of a bygone age, and stained glass window accents that fill the space with color and soul. Fresh paint and updated lighting throughout honor these details without overshadowing them. The heart of the home is the dramatic living room, anchored by a magnificent gas fireplace. Above it, a Juliet balcony overlooks the room, adding a sense of grandeur and theater. The kitchen has been fully and beautifully updated with new LVP flooring, custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, striking the perfect balance between vintage soul and modern practicality. Upstairs, the second-floor primary bedroom has been transformed with the addition of a brand new private bathroom, creating a true suite retreat. Two additional bedrooms complete the upper level. And tucked above it all is the home's most delightful secret, a hidden fourth-floor space that has served as storage for decades. The lower level offers a finished family room or bonus space — ideal for a home office, media room, or playroom, and a dedicated storage, utility, and laundry room. Mechanically, the home has been well cared for with a newer boiler and a new water heater, giving you peace of mind beneath all that character. Outside, a covered side porch invites you to slow down, and the included adjacent lot provides rare outdoor space and future possibilities.
