1057 East Stanford Street, Springfield, MO 65807 (MLS# 60317190)

Timeless character meets endless potential in this 1929 Dutch Colonial on a corner lot in the highly desirable University Heights neighborhood. The historic charm emanates throughout the home from such features as the original oak floors (excellent structural condition, just need refinishing), 1-panel solid wood doors with original glass knobs, multiple sets of built-in shelves, 2 woodburning fireplaces, and a huge dining room with corner built-ins (common in nicer homes built during that period). New paint, fixtures, and basic updates in the kitchen and bathrooms would make a world of difference in restoring the beauty of this nearly 100 year-old gem! The 4 bedrooms are situated on the upper level, but the flex space in the home allows for possible reconfiguration through the repurposing of one of the main floor living areas for use as a large bedroom or primary suite by simply adding a set of French doors at the entrance. The additional square footage in the basement (not included in the 2458 sf) includes finished drywall and a third full bathroom and would make a great home office or in-laws quarters; while the attic (accessed by stairs) provides additional storage or could be used as a crafting space or a children's play area. Homes in this neighborhood are rarely available, so don't wait to check it out! The home needs TLC but is priced accordingly, allowing you to update to your taste. Updates during the seller's ownership include the replacement of the roof, HVAC system, hot water heater, and garage doors. The original structure and current room utilization of this roomy home are simply a starting point. Depending on your unique needs, this property could be spectacular with mere cosmetic updates, but for those desiring a slightly different configuration, consider it a blank canvas where the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. Either way, you're likely to make it your forever home, as this is a neighborhood you won't want to leave!
