Welcome to the Poschel-Graff-Maupin-Pottenger House, a beautifully preserved 1933 brick Colonial in the heart of University Heights. Originally built as 726 E. University for Ralph and Verna Poschel and their son Eugene, this distinguished home carries a rich Springfield history through several notable owners, including Willard Graff, Men's Dean at SWMC; Virgil Maupin, President of Missouri White Motors; and William Pottenger, football coach for SMSC. Now is your opportunity to own a classic 1930s two-story Colonial filled with original charm, architectural character, and timeless craftsmanship. This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home features formal living and dining rooms, a family room, sunroom, beautiful hardwood flooring throughout much of the home, and a finished basement hobby room/office. One upstairs bedroom includes access to a charming private balcony. The home's traditional historic layout places the full bathrooms on the upper and basement levels, preserving the original character of the home while offering an attractive value opportunity in one of Springfield's most desirable historic neighborhoods. Outdoor features include a peaceful deck overlooking a koi pond complete with fish, a long private drive, and a detached two-car garage. Over the past 11 years, numerous updates have been completed, including double-pane tilt-in windows, quartz kitchen countertops, wood privacy fencing, garage door, front door and screen door, electric range, refrigerator, dishwasher, and updated flooring in the kitchen and family room. Conveniently located near downtown Springfield, Missouri State University, Mercy Hospital, restaurants, shopping, and parks, this home combines historic elegance, modern updates, and a highly sought-after central location. If you've been looking for a true historic home with character and value in University Heights, this may be the one.
