Tucked on one of Springfield’s most beloved no-outlet streets, 2021 Cardinal Drive offers the kind of quiet, central location that’s hard to replicate and even harder to leave. This well-maintained Cape Cod style home is rich in character with features like arched doorways, formal living spaces, large windows, and beautifully preserved hardwoods throughout. The layout delivers everyday perks like main floor laundry and a convenient full bathroom, while upstairs you’ll find the 2nd full bath alongside three generously sized bedrooms plus a smaller fourth room that works perfectly as an office, flex space or playroom. Modern lighting and hardware blend seamlessly with the home’s original craftsmanship while solid mechanicals have been thoughtfully maintained & updated. Outside, enjoy a truly rare backyard setting with a privacy-fenced yard & patio, additional covered patio space and a massive detached 2-car garage — all just a few blocks from Washington Park and moments from everything Springfield has to offer. An impressive home in a classic location that simply cannot be beat!
