About this home
Welcome home to this well-kept ranch in desirable East Forest Park. It lives larger than its square footage suggests, with four bedrooms on one level, a fully finished lower level, and a bonus pool room. Its flexible layout gives everyone room to spread out. Two convenient entrances add everyday ease. The front door opens to the living room, kitchen, and dining area, with hardwood floors in the living room and hallway. The kitchen and dining area has stainless appliances, tile floors, a ceiling fan, and sliders out to the deck. The side entrance leads to a mudroom connecting the attached two-car garage and the pool room. All four bedrooms sit along one hallway, with two full bathrooms in the same wing. Two of the bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom with a double-wide vanity, and closet space is generous throughout, including double-wide closets. The finished lower level is a standout bonus. It offers a large tiled living and recreation area with two double closets, two additional finished rooms toward the rear, and a separate utility room with laundry. Recent updates include brand-new central A/C (2026) with a manufacturer’s warranty, new appliances, washer and dryer (2023), a new garage door and opener (2023), and a freshly painted deck. All appliances stay! Outside, the generously sized pool room has its own entrance to the backyard. Enjoy a large deck, an above-ground pool rebuilt in 2024, a separate patio/gazebo area, and a fenced yard with motion lighting and solar fence lights. The attached garage includes a built-in shed for extra storage. Open houses Saturday and Sunday, November 7–8 and November 14-15. Offer deadline is Monday November 16, 2026, at 5pm. Don’t miss your chance on this East Forest Park gem!

About East Forest
Park
East Forest Park, located between Forest Park and the East Longmeadow line, is a residential and park-adjacent Springfield neighborhood with curving, tree-lined streets and a strong mid-century feel. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Sumner Avenue corridor near the East Forest Park branch library, where small storefronts, takeout counters, and everyday services set a steady, local rhythm. Housing leans toward well-kept ranches, capes, and brick multifamilies, with tidy yards and deep setbacks. Paths and playing fields at nearby Forest Park shape daily routines with green space close at hand. The East Forest Park Branch Library and Forest Park’s Zoo in Forest Park serve as familiar cultural anchors. Sumner Avenue links the area to the larger city grid while keeping the streetscape calm.
