This storybook Craftsman style home offers the unique opportunity to own a piece of history in the heart of Springfield. Your corner lot is adorned with ornamental iron fencing & decorative gates for a luxurious accent of style and grace. The quintessential covered front porch is swing ready and column complete. Your original hardwood floors and natural light welcome you into the home's first living room connected by french doors to a sunroom/sitting area with original coal fireplace. An updated kitchen preserves authenticity with subway tiles and the holy grail of antique gas stoves, while still providing modern conviences such as a dishwasher, refrigerator, etc. The oversized formal dining room and half bath finish out the first floor. A timeless split staircase ushers you to the second level featuring a full bathroom and 3 bedrooms including the unusually large primary suite with huge walk-in closet, built-in window seat with storage, period specific penny tile walk-in shower, clawfoot soaking tub & antique vanity. Your basement provides the perfect getaway for movie/game night, kid hang out, bonus space with a family room, 4th bedroom and unfinished space for storage, laundry, etc. *Plus this basement has the Rolls Royce of waterproofing systems with french drain & sump pump for peace of mind with Missouri weather. Other features include a newer roof, board and batten moldings, glass doorknobs plus chunky baseboards and trim. While the inside is stunning, the backyard matches the artisanal charm with a detached she-shed, pergola & patio providing a low maintenance yard that frees you up for plans with friends. Walk downtown to enjoy trivia night at Finn's, drinks at BrewCo, or St. Michael's famous strawberry cake. Add to the tales of Market St with your next chapter here at home....
