Full of timeless charm & classic craftsmanship, this beautifully maintained home offers generous living spaces in a flexible floorplan with tasteful updates in all the right places. Set on a spacious lot with turf backyard, extended privacy fence (2018) & C6 rock driveway, it pairs curb appeal with practical perks like attic window upgrades (2019) & a relocated fence line for added yard space. Step into the big, inviting foyer where the original staircase & natural wood accents set a warm, welcoming tone that continues throughout. Oversized rooms, high ceilings & updated white trim flow easily in this effortless layout offering bedroom & bathroom options on each level—including a main floor full bath right off the kitchen. Enjoy original pocket doors separating the living and dining rooms—a rare & fully functional feature that adds extra charm! The kitchen shines with fresh paint, stylish fixtures, trendy backsplash & updated cabinetry (2024), while the bathrooms have been refreshed with newer flooring, tile surrounds & finishes that preserve character without sacrificing comfort. Upstairs you'll find generously sized bedrooms, a super convenient laundry room, & even more bonus space in the finished attic—ideal for storage, playroom or creative use. Major improvements include a newer roof & windows (less than 10 yrs), newer siding & furnace (both under 8 yrs), and a brand-new water heater (2024). All this, just 2 blocks from Washington Park with no major roads to cross!

    "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."
