Description

Character galore in this Historic Westside property. This home was built when craftsmanship was standard: super high ceilings, 8.5" baseboards, hardwood floors, double French doors, transoms and lots of natural light. The first floor has 2 beds, 1 bath, eat-in kitchen, dining room (I use as office), living room and formal entry. The second floor has 2 beds, 1 bath AND a kitchen and living room. Washer/Dryer in basement plus second floor W/D hookups. This floorplan has provided several options of use throughout the years. I have rented the upstairs to family, graduate students, and nurses to name a few. Most recently my daughter and grandson have called the upstairs home. It is called a multi-generational household; allowing us to thrive through cost sharing and time spent together. Other possibilities could include a home business or space for Airbnb. You have options! It is less than five minutes to the Medical District or downtown. Springfield High is one block away and you can walk to the Farmers Market in twelve minutes. One of my neighbors walk their dog every morning at Douglas Park. His pooch especially loves the park when it snows.

    "We are visiting Springfield, staying with friends who live on this street. I am enjoying the neighborhood. It is safe to take an evening walk. Washington Park is very close by. The houses and yards are maintained very well. People walk their dogs too. If we were in the market to move to Springfield I would be looking to buy in this area."
