About this home
Gorgeous brick Colonial in Springfield's desirable East Forest Park neighborhood, where charm, character, and thoughtful upgrades come together in one special home. Mature plantings and a rich brick facade greet you along the front path, setting the tone before you even reach the door. Step inside and the character reveals itself right away: arched doorways, original wood floors, and warm stucco walls carry a real sense of history through every room. The spacious living room, anchored by a fireplace and currently combined with the dining area, shows off just how much space there is to gather. Toward the back, the den (once the formal dining room) is filled with light from French doors that lead out to the patio, connecting the home to the outdoor space and the finished outbuilding beyond. The den also flows naturally into the kitchen with white cabinets, granite counters, and stainless steel appliances. From there, step out to a large deck, ready for slow mornings with coffee or lively evenings with friends. Upstairs, three good-sized bedrooms share a full bath, and the primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet, an uncommon find in a home of this era. The finished basement adds living space plus a second full bath and laundry.The outdoor space is truly something special. Between the patio, the expansive deck, and a small pond with its own waterfall feature, the backyard feels like a private retreat, a genuine oasis you will not want to leave. And just steps away sits the finished outbuilding, a true in-law suite complete with its own bathroom and kitchenette hookup, perfect for extended family, a live-in guest, or anyone wanting their own private space, and just as well suited as a studio, guest space, or home office.Conveniently located close to shops, restaurants, schools, public transportation, and the highway, this East Forest Park home offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and convenience. Come see it for yourself, you will feel it the moment you walk up the path.
East Forest Park, located between Forest Park and the East Longmeadow line, is a residential and park-adjacent Springfield neighborhood with curving, tree-lined streets and a strong mid-century feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sumner Avenue corridor near the East Forest Park branch library, where small storefronts, takeout counters, and everyday services set a steady, local rhythm. Housing leans toward well-kept ranches, capes, and brick multifamilies, with tidy yards and deep setbacks. Paths and playing fields at nearby Forest Park shape daily routines with green space close at hand. The East Forest Park Branch Library and Forest Park’s Zoo in Forest Park serve as familiar cultural anchors. Sumner Avenue links the area to the larger city grid while keeping the streetscape calm.
