You don't want to miss out on this updated and upgraded house that sits on a 1/4-acre corner lot, with a two-car detached garage, large enough for a full-size truck, car and room left over for storage and little shop. This cozy bungalow has a newly screened in back porch and a classic front porch adding extra lounging and entertaining areas throughout the year. BONUS: Home is eligible for Restore SGF: a first-time homebuyer assistance program, offering up to $9,000 grant, and seller is providing a HOME WARRANTY. This home was torn down to the studs, in 2023, ceiling raised to original 9,5' ceilings, walls taken down to create an open concept and one half of home was reframed to provide a second bath ensuite. The electric was updated through the entire house, bringing it to current code, installing a new 20-amp electric panel, by a licensed master electrician. All of the plumbing was updated, removing steel plumbing, installing all new pex throughout the entire house. The finishes are updated to new comfort height toilets, tile bath surrounds and walk-in shower, granite countertops on new vanities, all new light fixtures, ceiling fans, mirrors, and new six panel doors, baseboards and new hardware throughout the house. Entire house was freshly painted, and original hardwood floors were refinished. New stainless-steel range and microwave hood vent. This home was not a flip home. The current owners have lived here for four years and have truly loved their home, and had the resources to improve it. There is a large living room, with a dining room. The kitchen has a back door that leads to the screened porch. Beautiful large windows let in abundant natural light. This charming home is close to shopping, restaurants, entertainment, 3 miles from the MSU Campus, less to the Springfield Zoo and Fairgrounds and Hamons field for Cardinals baseball, with easy access to I-44 and Hwy 65, and a short walk to Doling Park and all it has to offer.
