1351 N Summit Avenue

Welcome to 1351 N. Summit, a charming 1917 home in Springfield's historic Midtown neighborhood, just north of Drury University. This late-Victorian/Queen Anne cottage with Craftsman-era influences offers a wonderful blend of early 20th-century character and modern aesthetics. The home features a newer roof, some updated electrical/plumbing, and a one year old tankless water heater. The large wrap-around porch is a standout feature, with beautiful wood detailing that gives the exterior plenty of curb appeal. Inside, the bright and airy main level features original hardwood floors, tall ceilings, restored vintage light fixtures (originally from the Netherlands, acquired in Indonesia, one of which came from a steam ship!), and an inviting open living and dining area. The updated kitchen includes granite countertops and newer appliances, while two main-level bedrooms and a beautifully designed full bathroom provide a comfortable and functional layout.Upstairs, a spacious third bedroom includes its own ensuite bathroom, creating a private retreat separate from the main living spaces. Outside, the beautiful privacy-fenced backyard offers a great space for relaxing or entertaining, along with a detached one-car garage. The location is hard to beat, with Commercial Street's local shops and restaurants just minutes away and the new Midtown Kingdom Coffee shop an easy, tree-lined walk from home. With its combination of architectural character, thoughtful updates, and a great Midtown location, 1351 N. Summit is a special opportunity to own a piece of Springfield's historic fabric without giving up the comforts of modern living.
