Embrace the charm of meticulous craftsmanship with this lovingly maintained gem, nestled in the vibrant heart of historic West Springfield. Each feature of this home tells a story of quality and care: newer windows and siding paired with a reliable water heater & furnace updated around 2006. Step inside to discover the warmth of gorgeous refinished hardwood floors, the elegance of charming archways and the time-honored beauty of vintage dining room built-ins. This cutie offers a cozy layout with two bedrooms, a full updated bathroom and an expansive, unfinished basement ready for your personal touch. The upper level unfolds as a versatile space, ideal as a family room, home office, or a third bedroom, awaiting your design (note: no HVAC/vents). Outside, the home's charm continues with a picture-perfect exterior boasting lovely landscaping, a fenced backyard and a convenient & equally adorable detached garage. Its location is unbeatable, just minutes from the downtown scene, serene Washington Park and close to direct routes throughout Springfield.
