Single-level living with 1,120 square feet and a layout that makes smart use of the space. Wood floors, original built-ins and wide openings connect the living and dining rooms, while the kitchen has plenty of cabinet and counter space with stainless appliances remaining for the buyer’s enjoyment. Three bedrooms include a tandem room that creates flexibility for an office, nursery, dressing room or additional sitting space, plus one full bath. The unfinished basement adds plenty of storage. Outside, the covered front porch gives you a great place to sit and watch the neighborhood go by, while the fenced backyard has plenty of lawn, room to garden and an existing firepit already waiting for evenings around the fire. Located in Springfield’s Forest Park neighborhood, close to Forest Park, the Sumner Avenue corridor, shopping, restaurants and everyday conveniences. Plenty of useful space inside, and a backyard you’ll actually want to use. Roof and front and side porch were all redone in the last year.
