Description

What a great place to call home. Whether you are just getting started or trying to downsize, this is an awesome opportunity to have an attached home with several amenities while being tucked in a residential neighborhood. Central to Downtown Springfield and just a few minutes from the retail therapy and restaurants that the west side of town offers. You will enjoy this one level home with a very functional floor plan. Open living room to formal dining area with slider access to side deck and fenced back yard. Laundry room could double as walk in pantry. Cozy up this winter next to the gas fireplace. This home has been preinspected so that buyers are informed before making offers.

    "We've lived in the neighorhood for almost 3 years. It's clean, quiet, low traffic and fairly family friendly, although I understand that the schools served by this area aren't great. Cost of housing is good, and there's a nice blend of apartments, duplexes and single family homes."
