The updated full bath features clean subway tile, matte black fixtures, and a sleek vanity. The magic continues outside in your private backyard sanctuary. Designed for ultimate relaxation and entertaining, the oversized paver patio is perfect for summer barbecues or cool autumn evenings under the stars. Surrounded by a full privacy fence and a spacious green lawn, it's a quiet retreat you'll love returning to. A repaved driveway and detached garage complete this move-in-ready home. Exceptional style, smart upgrades, and complete comfort await!
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.
