Property Description

Not too big. Not too small. This charming 1929 cottage is JUST RIGHT! If Goldilocks were house hunting in Springfield, she may have stopped right here. Overflowing with storybook character and irresistible cottage vibes, this fixer-upper is ready for someone to write its next chapter. The welcoming covered front porch invites you to slow down and stay awhile before stepping inside to an oversized living room where a classic brick fireplace, flanked by sun-filled windows, creates a warm and inviting gathering space. Original natural wood floors and trim showcase the craftsmanship of a bygone era, while the generously sized bedrooms are connected by a unique corridor featuring built-in cabinetry and book shelving—a charming touch that's hard to find today. The formal dining room is full of vintage personality with its original built-in china cabinet and classic swinging door leading into the kitchen. Natural wood cabinetry provides a solid foundation, while the adjoining summer porch is currently used as a convenient first-floor laundry. Prefer a home office, sunny sitting room, or the perfect spot for your growing plant collection? Simply relocate the laundry back to the basement and let your imagination take over. Downstairs, the basement offers abundant storage, room for future finished living space, and dependable storm protection. Outside, an extensive concrete driveway leads to a detached one-car garage with an insulated overhead door. Best of all, some of the "hard stuff" has already been tackled with a replaced roof and main water line, allowing you to focus on bringing your vision to life. Whether you're a handy owner-occupant looking for the perfect project or an investor searching for your next opportunity, this cottage is not too much, not too little...it's just right. Priced so low... you won't want to wait!
