Own a piece of historic Las Vegas Old West. The Ilfeld Mansion is a Georgian Revival home built in 1908 by famed architects Rapp and Rapp. It was a time of bustling growth, with the trains stopping at Harvey houses such as the Castenada Hotel, the last stop on the Old Santa Fe Trail. Teddy Roosevelts Rough Riders were making their mark as industry came to the Wild West. This three story, 7000+/- sqft home sits on over 6 city lots in the heart of Las Vegas. It was built for famed mercantile scion Herman C. Ilfeld and his wife Bina as they moved west from Kansas City, Missouri. This is the largest home in Las Vegas, complete with 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, a game room, art room and office, service quarters on the third floor and a massive multi-room basement larger than most modern homes. The ground floor features a lovely foyer with parquet wood floors, embellished wood paneling on the walls, and a wide gracious staircase with a hand worked banister. The first floor also includes a kitchen, butlers pantry, dining room, living room and sunroom. Vaulted ceilings, pocket doors, French ceiling fixtures, sconces, chandeliers and fireplaces characterize the ground floor rooms. On the second floor are the family bedrooms as well as a billiard room with an antique billiard table, recently re-covered. Outdoors, the front and back yards provide ample room for gardening and play. The swimming pool and carriage house contribute to the experience of gracious living. Only a few blocks from historic sites like the Castaneda Hotel and downtown Plaza, the home is only a short walk from New Mexico Highlands University and local schools. Storrie Lake is just a short drive away, as are mountain-scapes and a wildlife preserve.
