1636 West Winchester Street

The summer days are heating up and this house is coming in hot! Welcome home to this lovely and very well maintained 2 story home on a quiet side street in SW Springfield that has a list of updates as long as a July evening. First off on the exterior, you'll notice the brand new roof (just a few weeks old!), new front and back entry doors, a new concrete driveway that's just over a year old, new gutters, downspouts & fascia, an overhead garage door that's about a year old and the garage is getting all new siding this month. You'll love the fenced backyard that has an oversized concrete patio, garden areas by the garage and a playset that stays with the house. Walk up a flagstone path to the front door and step inside to really appreciate all the style and space of this home. There's a pine hardwood entry and you'll immediately see a beautiful new stairway with oak treads and risers and all new posts and balustrades. The floor plan is extremely functional with 2 living areas offering separate but cozy seating spaces. The family room has a large brick fireplace hearth and a wall of built in shelving. The kitchen has bright white cabinetry and all the GE brand stainless appliances are less than 4 years old. There's a formal dining room with hardwood floors and the main level bathroom was completely renovated in 2021 and features large hexagon floor tile, a custom tiled walk in shower, new sink and fixtures. Upstairs you'll find 3 bedrooms and a large bathroom and there's even a huge unfinished attic space for additional storage. More updates include a brand new high efficiency Trane HVAC system from January 2023, the HVAC ductwork was professionally cleaned in Dec 2022, there is a vapor barrier installed in the crawlspace and preventative termite inspections and treatment being applied. The homeowners have really taken great care of this home and it shows. See for yourself but hurry because this home, much like the lightning bugs at night, won't be around much longer!
