Set in the Sixteen Acres neighborhood of Springfield, this move-in ready Colonial offers 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, an open main level and a generous fenced in yard. The garage enters a mudroom with half bath, laundry area and direct access to the large composite deck and backyard. The bright eat-in kitchen is framed by large windows that fill the room with natural light and features stainless steel appliances, gleaming wood floors, and a center island open to the carpeted living room. All three bedrooms sit upstairs, including a primary suite with a private full bath. The finished basement adds versatile space for a playroom, home gym, or media area alongside extra storage. Energy-efficient highlights include solar panels, a 1-year-old electric heat pump for supplemental heating and cooling plus natural gas furnace and water heater. Conveniently located near local schools, parks, and area amenities.
Sixteen Acres, located between Forest Park and Wilbraham, is a residential and suburban Springfield neighborhood with curving postwar streets and pocket parks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Wilbraham Road corridor near the Eastfield Mall site, where small plazas, local eateries, and everyday errands cluster along a steady stream of traffic. Tree-lined blocks feature Cape Cods, ranches, and tidy colonials with deep setbacks and wide driveways. Veterans Memorial Park and nearby green space shape an outdoors-forward rhythm. The setting reads quieter than downtown, with a car-oriented layout and a strong sense of routine.
