228 E Osage Drive

Charming home backing to the woods on a quiet cul-de-sac on Springfield's southern edge - Disney & Kickapoo schools! This beautifully landscaped property is close to everything Springfield offers, yet feels like a private retreat. Everyone loves a front porch, and this home features a beautiful, freshly painted spot for a morning cup of coffee -- especially with the exterior's recently restained cedar siding giving the whole home fresh curb appeal. Inside, real hardwood floors and abundant natural light fill the living room and kitchen. The kitchen has been beautifully updated with granite countertops, backsplash, stainless steel appliances, counter seating, and two pantries for extra storage. The generously sized dining space is perfect for seating the whole family. Rounding out the main level: two bedrooms, two baths, a convenient laundry room, and a master suite with a walk-in closet and custom-built vanity. So many possibilities downstairs! The walkout basement offers a second kitchen and a wood stove - ideal for extended family - plus a flexible bonus room ready for a home office, exercise/game room, or whatever suits your needs. The space would also make an excellent mother-in-law suite, or even income property - previous owners successfully rented it as a nightly rental and used the income to cover their mortgage. The attached 2-car garage offers a heated/cooled workshop or additional storage, the driveway adds room for boat or trailer parking, and the HVAC was replaced in 2021 for extra peace of mind. The fully fenced backyard, facing private woods, is an oasis for families and dog lovers alike. Mature trees, a recently refurbished upper/lower deck, and a stone patio with a dedicated fire pit set the stage for entertaining or simply enjoying peaceful evenings surrounded by nature.
