Quadrangle-Mattoon Historic District, located between the Springfield Museums Quadrangle and the Mattoon Street Historic District, is a historic and cultural Springfield neighborhood with museum greens and Victorian streetscapes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Springfield Museums campus along Chestnut Street, where gallery entrances, sculpture-dotted lawns, and café chatter set the pace. Brick rowhouses and ornate porches line Mattoon Street, giving daily walks a preserved, architectural rhythm. The Amazing World of Dr. Seuss Museum, the Springfield Museums, and Symphony Hall anchor the local calendar. Court Square adds a civic backdrop of monuments and mature trees. Side streets fold into downtown blocks for a compact, on-foot routine.

Urban sensibilities meet Western Massachusetts calm in this circa 1872 brick row house at 27 Mattoon Street, in the heart of Springfield's Quadrangle–Mattoon Street Historic District.

With three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and more than 3,200 square feet of living space, this home has been lovingly cared for over 150+ years. Updated bathrooms, a fourth-floor primary suite, back patio, and designated parking spot make this home a luxurious find in Springfield's bustling downtown.

So much to do downtown—museums, dining and more!
