This residence embodies the historic and architectural qualities of the Springfield Historic District through its period of construction, its design and its historical associations and integrity. Originally the residence of an employee of a local cement block manufacturing company, the home and the detached garage structures feature a variety of decorative cast block. Interior walls are mostly original plaster and the home rests on a massive perimeter concrete foundation and footings. Due to the structure much of the electrical could not be run into the wall cavity, rather was run through interior conduit. The home originally featured a covered Porte-cochere for parking at the rear of the home but that was converted by a prior owner and now used as rear sunroom and laundry room. The home's originally rear wall is evident there and in the upstairs owner's bath, where the exterior rusticated block is still visible. The current owner has painstakingly sifted soil around the perimeter of the home to create a luscious landscape and garden with statues and massive planted pots an accenting the property with a delightfully metal fence and adding a small pond with an abundance of small goldfish. The interior of this home has been tastefully wallpapered and features matching handmade pattern curtains or blinds or shears in most all rooms. There is a great deal of pride of ownership in this home. The Seller prefers to sell the home as-is and feels the home has been appropriately positioned in the market given the updates and quality of construction that is unusual for the neighborhood. The Fireplace has not been used and inspection or repairs may be needed if use is preferred or convert to gas. A 2-10 Home Warranty will be provided by the Seller at closing.
