Welcome home to this adorable, perfectly kept 3-bedroom ranch perfectly located in the heart of Springfield! Step inside to a bright, open living space with fresh neutral tones and an easy flow that feels both cozy and current. A cute pass-through opens up the space & views a tiled galley kitchen, complete with modern finishes & appliances which includes a newer range and microwave, plus plenty of cabinetry. Authentic hardwood floors and vintage arched doorways offer all the charm, while a totally updated full bath adds a clean, contemporary touch. Downstairs, the full basement is spotless and ready for all your storage needs or, finish more square footage! With plumbing already in place, there's even potential for a second bath or kitchen. Outside, a spacious backyard invites you to relax or entertain while an oversized 2-car detached garage (with cabinetry!) is like a cherry on top. Major updates include a 3-year-old furnace, an A/C unit new in 2024 and replacement windows within the last decade. All of this & more just minutes from the interstates, downtown and every corner of Springfield. It's the perfect location for a move in ready, must-see gem like this one!
