About This Home

Welcome to 281 West Avenue, a charming 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom Cape Cod-style single-family home located in the heart of Springfield. Along with a transferable warranty for the roof, this well-maintained property offers timeless character, modern upgrades, and an ideal layout for comfortable living and entertaining. Step inside to a welcoming foyer featuring hardwood floors, a ceiling light, and a staircase leading to the upper level. To the right, an arched entryway opens to the sunlit living room, complete with hardwood flooring, crown molding, and a trio of new construction, insulated windows—two in front and one on the side—that flood the space with natural light. Another arched opening leads to the elegant dining room, which features hardwood floors, a chandelier with dimmer, wood chair rail detailing, a double rear window, and an additional side window, making it perfect for gatherings. Straight ahead from the foyer, the beautifully updated kitchen boasts hardwood floors, crown molding, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, GE stainless steel appliances, a double sink, a breakfast bar, and built-in wall cabinets. A chandelier adds warmth, while French doors lead to the spacious wooden deck—perfect for outdoor entertaining. The private backyard offers a peaceful retreat with mature trees providing privacy and serene views of the peaceful pond as well as a playhouse and jungle gym for the kids. On the main level, you'll also find a full bathroom with tile floors, granite countertops, wainscoting with chair rail, and a tiled tub/shower combination. A hallway walk-in coat closet adds practical storage. Two well-sized bedrooms on this floor feature hardwood flooring and ceiling fans with lights—ideal for children, guests, or flexible use. Upstairs, the spacious third bedroom includes hardwood floors, partially vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan with light, and a walk-in closet. A full bathroom on this level features tile flooring, a walk-in tiled shower with glass door, and chair rail accents. Also on the upper level is a versatile office or bonus room with hardwood floors, a ceiling fan with light, a walk-in closet, and an additional cedar-lined walk-in closet. The fourth bedroom completes the level, offering hardwood floors, vaulted ceiling, a ceiling fan, and a walk-in closet. The partially finished, walk-out basement expands your living space with a cozy family room featuring a stone-surround wood-burning fireplace. The unfinished section offers a workbench, storage cabinets, countertops, and wall shelving—perfect for hobbies or additional storage. The basement also includes a front-load washer and a dryer, utility sink, and access to both the driveway and the 2-car garage. Conveniently located near Netherwood Park, local shopping, grocery stores, restaurants, and more, this home truly has it all. Don’t miss your opportunity to make this beautiful Springfield property your next home!
