49 Ruth Ct, Springfield, IL 62704
About this home
This 2BR gem is a total dollhouse, delivering move-in ready condition & charm in a fantastic central location tucked at the end of a cul de sac. The backyard is the largest on the court, fully fenced with mature trees, a great back deck & plenty of room to entertain outdoors. Inside, a long list of 2025 improvements includes new flooring & fresh paint throughout, each in soft, trendy tones. Enjoy freshly carpeted bedrooms & wood laminate across the living spaces, plus new baseboards with crisp white trim. The partially finished basement adds nearly 500 sq ft of extra living space with a big rec room plus a bar or kitchenette setup that’s ready to enjoy & personalize. The detached 1-car garage, oversized yard & exterior curb appeal are like cherries on top in this easy-to-love location that feels tucked away but keeps you minutes from everything.
