Description

"Welcome Home" is what you will say every time you pull into your driveway! Perfectly situated in the desirable Northwoods community of Springfield Township and the award winning Springfield School system. At first approach one is keenly aware that Pride of Ownership is a key ingredient in the recipe for a happy home. This is evident from the lush green lawns to the manicured gardens displaying an assortment of color enhanced by perennial plantings to the freshly painted interior. The covered front entry greets all comers granting access to this captivating circa 1947 colonial where mid-century charm is flawlessly mingled with modern improvements. Passing through the front door we find a warm & inviting living room where an abundance of natural light gushes through the sparkling oversized bay window spilling onto the exposed original hardwood flooring as it flows seamlessly into the formal dining room. As you gaze around the room be sure to notice the 1940's architectural accents including the eye-catching wood burning brick fireplace enhanced by its colonial mantle, glass doors, tiled hearth and flanked by traditional built-ins; original millwork & moldings are some of the finishing touches to complete the room as does the deep/wide sill on the front bay window. The formal dining room with chair rail is ready to accommodate an intimate family dinner or a larger holiday gathering. The large louver doors open to the sundrenched family room enriching the desirable open floor plan increasing entertainment flow. This bright & airy room is filled with natural light as it cascades through glistening windows & sliding glass doors onto the hardwood flooring. The 1st floor powder room is strategically placed adjacent to the Family room & only a few steps from the Kitchen. The kitchen layout was planned for efficiency of meal prep & clean up with entertianing in mind. The custom tiled floor in the Kitchen & dining area is more than a floor covering - it's a work of art complimenting the stainless appliances, corian counters, white cabinetry & tiled backsplash. The peninsula island serves as a breakfast bar (for a casual meal) or sideboard/counter for serving your guests. Contiguous is a very versatile 12 x 10 area with tiled floor ready to use as your breakfast room/office or play area as the needs arise. Ascending the front stairs to the second floor we discover the ceramic tiled hall bath featuring a tub with shower; a large hall linen closet and 3 peaceful bedrooms. The primary bedroom includes a convenient half bath. Bedroom #2 has access to walk-up attic storage and Bedroom #3 has 2 closets. The bedrooms all have ceiling fans, hardwood flooring and nicely sized closets. Descending the stairs from the kitchen we gain access to your large unfinished basement accomodating the laundry area, with washer, dryer & double laundry tub; utility corner and loads of storage. Retreat to your beatuiful back yard via the Family room sliding glass door opening onto the large deck overlooking the secluded yard bordered byn tall tess providing natural privacy. This space will be your personal oasis enjoying the sights & sounds of the nature which surrounds you. One of the largest yards in Northwoods - there is plenty of room for warm weather enjoyment, outdoor games, entertaining and family Bar-B-Q's. The kitchen side door accesses a sizeable covered patio increasing your outdoor enjoyment. Time spent here will be time well spent! The crowning glory is the ultra convenient location close to everything you want or need plus quick & easy access to where ever you may want to go! This will be YOUR forever home!!
