About this home

Step inside and you’ll immediately appreciate the character and warmth that make this west side home so special. Original hardwood floors, French doors and timeless architectural details create a welcoming feel from the moment you enter. The spacious living room flows into an oversized formal dining room, offering plenty of room for everyday living and gathering with family and friends. The kitchen has been thoughtfully remodeled with new cabinets, countertops, drywall and paint in 2019, blending modern functionality with the character found throughout the home. A convenient half bath on the main level was also refreshed in 2026. Upstairs, three generous bedrooms and a full bath provide comfortable living space. Important improvements have also been made behind the scenes, including the foundation being fully braced and supported in 2025. The basement received new cabinets and a countertop in 2019, adding useful storage and workspace. Outside, the covered front porch is perfect for enjoying a quiet morning, while the large back deck provides plenty of space for summertime entertaining. With its combination of historic character, meaningful updates and comfortable living spaces, this west side home offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the charm of yesterday with some of the improvements you want today. The home has been pre-inspected and is being sold as reported.

About Historic West

Side

Historic West Side, located between downtown Springfield and Washington Park, is a historic and residential Springfield neighborhood with brick-lined streets and porch-front architecture. The character concentrates along MacArthur Boulevard near Lawrence Avenue, where corner taverns, local diners, and small storefronts set a lived-in, walkable rhythm. Queen Anne and Craftsman homes mix with tidy bungalows, and mature trees frame deep front yards. Community life often orbits the Illinois State Fairgrounds during fair season and year-round events. The Dana-Thomas House anchors the area’s design legacy with Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie School imprint. Parks and neighborhood schools add everyday structure without breaking the district’s old-house continuity.
