As of June 2025

Welcome Home to 8621 James Creek Drive, your future oasis in Springfield.

This move in ready 5 bedroom 4 and a half bathroom home is just waiting for your personal touches. Come make it your own. This comfortable, well maintained home is on a private, quiet cul-de-sac! It has beautiful curb appeal with easily maintained mature landscaping and many great features.

Walking in to the two story entry gives the home a grand feeling as the ceiling high windows bring in lots of natural light. This opens to a formal living room with a bay window overlooking the lovely landscaping.

An additional pantry provides extra storage. The kitchen also has informal dining room overlooking a screened in porch and a large great room. The openness of the rooms makes it cozy and great for relaxed evenings at home with friends and family.

The great room features a sunken living area with columns, a cozy gas log fireplace and many large windows letting in the outdoor beauty and natural light. The great room leads to the large deck that has low maintenance Trek decking and ample area to barbeque or to just dine outdoors on breezy nights. If needed you can move to the adjacent screened in porch to continue the outdoor fun if the weather is less cooperative.

The upper level has a winding staircase that leads to a dramatic balcony that overlooks the foyer giving it that continued feeling of grandeur. Imagine family photos with the natural light from the foyer windows as your backdrop.

Four spacious bedrooms grace this upper level. The primary suite with walk-in closet, a primary bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower stall, large vanity and mirror and private water closet. The second bedroom has its own private bathroom perfect for guests. The other two bedrooms share a jack and jill bathroom with large closets and plenty of space and natural light. The final surprise of this level is the convenience of having an upper floor laundry room with full size washer and dryer making this a well organized and easily maintained home.

This home has additional features that will wow you – a custom built private office with cabinets, bookcases and desk space for two on the main level tucked away behind the great room.; A main level half bath; a fabulous screened porch surrounded by trees with an adjoining deck and stairs to the patio below which has a porch swing.

There is also a fifth bedroom on this level with its own private bath and walk in closet. You could make this level an in-law suite or potential guest suite, media room, theater or a workout area. the possibilities are endless. There is also additional unfinished storage space in the lower level!

This home also has a huge two car garage that could contain two large vehicles, as well as extra storage for garden equipment, or other storage needs.
