528 S Lexington Avenue

This charming 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home sits on a huge lot with a fully privacy fenced backyard in a quiet established neighborhood just minutes from downtown Springfield and MSU. The versatile third bedroom offers a more compact layout, features a brand new half bath, and may also function better as a bonus room, sunroom, office, or flex space. Raised garden beds, apple trees, cherry blossom trees, a large wood deck, covered front and back porches, and plenty of space to garden, entertain, or relax make it feel like a private retreat right in town. The attached 2-car carport also offers potential to be enclosed into a garage if desired. Step onto the covered front porch with new wood beams and through the front door with decorative glass insert into a warm interior with fresh paint, new vinyl plank flooring, custom wainscoting in the living room and kitchen, built-in storage, and double pane windows throughout. The home also features central heat and air plus an attic fan. The kitchen has new shaker cabinets, updated finishes, new fixtures, and a custom floral relief mural with hanging plant space. Real wood floors add character to the front bedroom, while the primary bedroom features an accent wall, walk-in closet, and new ceiling fan. Both bathrooms have been refreshed, including the newly added half bath off the back bedroom with vessel sink, custom mural work, vanity, and new flooring. The back bedroom is currently used as a sunroom and features a large new bay window with doors leading to the covered back porch and backyard oasis. Downstairs, the unfinished basement includes a new sump pump and laundry area, with potential to relocate washer and dryer upstairs if desired. Refrigerator, washer, dryer, and dishwasher all stay, and the stove area is set up for either electric or gas cooking. From the flexible layout to the incredible outdoor space, this home offers charm, character, and room to make it your own.
