Welcome home to this spacious 1.5-story home nestled in an established neighborhood, just minutes from the downtown historic district! The inviting covered front porch welcomes you inside to a large living room featuring a wood-burning fireplace, a formal dining room, and a spacious kitchen with all appliances staying. A convenient half bath is located just off the kitchen, and the kitchenette table and stools are included as well. Upstairs, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms, each offering large closets, along with an updated full bath featuring a beautiful tiled walk-in shower. The basement provides additional storage and laundry facilities, along with a new boiler tank. Outside, enjoy the privacy-fenced backyard, patio, and two-car detached garage. With its spacious layout, and flexible use, this home offers an excellent opportunity as an investment property, including potential student rental, or as a comfortable family home.
Historic West Side, located between downtown Springfield and Washington Park, is a historic and residential Springfield neighborhood with brick-lined streets and porch-front architecture. The character concentrates along MacArthur Boulevard near Lawrence Avenue, where corner taverns, local diners, and small storefronts set a lived-in, walkable rhythm. Queen Anne and Craftsman homes mix with tidy bungalows, and mature trees frame deep front yards. Community life often orbits the Illinois State Fairgrounds during fair season and year-round events. The Dana-Thomas House anchors the area’s design legacy with Frank Lloyd Wright’s Prairie School imprint. Parks and neighborhood schools add everyday structure without breaking the district’s old-house continuity.
