Description
This incredibly charming & elegantly updated home is brimming with character & craftsmanship. It's located in the heart of Springfield & a short distance from the highly desired Washington Park area. From its striking 2story curb appeal through the adorable, fenced backyard with patio this home & the adjustments along the way are a perfect combination of modern living & classic, quality architecture. A bright, freshly painted main floor greets you with formal dining & living rooms which are cozy & beautifully highlighted by newer wood-like flooring that continues through the entire home. From there you'll find and enjoy an oversized kitchen equipped with expansive cabinetry & counterspace plus, modern stainless-steel appliances. The main floor also features a full, nicely updated bathroom & a first floor bedroom that would be great for guests or an office. You'll be delighted to discover that 2 of the 3 gracious upstairs bedrooms are equipped with walk in closets & the 2nd full bath is nearby. Storage is utilized in the shed that can stay out back & in the partial basement where you'll find two new sump pumps installed just this year. In addition to regular care & maintenance you'll also find Security System equipment already installed which can stay with the home and be subscribed to. This one is a true gem with lots to love in an amazing location; expect to be impressed!

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is a joke. They call or send out letters about things that convenience them but they expect you to remember that you need a doctor note for being absent since it’s in the handbook that you get during registration at the beginning of the year. I work full time go to school full time and am a full time mother. I don’t remember everything. So now my daughter’s assignments are getting F’s on them because she has to go to an appointment because you guys said she has to have this vaccine, be for real. This is absolutely ridiculous you need to do better. My baby is a straight A student and this is her 1st year here. We should have stayed in Chatham.Parent Review1mo ago
