House, shop, creek, and pool on 3.4 acres!! Historic farmhouse built in 1910 and updated with ALL of the modern amenities and conveniences you could want! This lovely southwest Springfield house is just outside city limits and is just minutes from shopping, dining, and action, but the quiet and peaceful setting makes it feel like you've gone back in time to a simpler era. If you're ready to ditch the neighborhood HOA and have a little bit of space to roam and room to tinker-- this one is for you. From the moment you pull into the circle driveway you will be enchanted. The shady front porch calls for you to sit a spell, sip some lemonade, and relax. Inside, gorgeous and shiny wood floors cover the entire main level. The kitchen is a dream with a Viking stove, Bosch dishwasher, Electrolux wall oven, and beautiful cabinets and granite countertops. Beyond the kitchen a large family room/flex space with a cozy fireplace and a wall of windows overlooks the amazing backyard -- you see the sparkly pool and the neighbor's pond in the distance-- it's SO nice. Also on the main level is a formal dining room, another living area, foyer, master bedroom, and a large bathroom with a cast iron claw foot tub. Upstairs there are 3 more bedrooms, an office/study area with tons of built in storage, and another full bathroom. The attic space is so neat-- it's fully floored and finished and has its own private bathroom as well. It would make a terrific playroom, studio/office, or?? Downstairs, the basement is dry as a bone and has an attached garage, utility area and storage. Out back is an entertainment oasis with an in-ground pool, pool house, hot tub pad, covered deck, pergola, and outdoor shower. The shop is massive and features a wood stove, 220 electric, and covered porches on either side. The grounds here are just lovely: there is a spring fed creek, and old spring house, a beautiful and shady meadow, cool old garage, storage shed, and more. Prepare to fall in love!!
