About This Home

As of December 2025

They say location is key for a property, if that is true this home knocks it out of the park. Located on a quiet country road less than 3 miles to Chester and 6 miles to Springfield sits this well-maintained ranch home on 2.6 mostly open acres. The open and slightly sloping yard has of established landscaping offering lots of opportunity for gardening, recreation and just good old-fashioned relaxing. Roomy screened porch allows you to enjoy outside all summer without worrying about bugs or rain. Oversized 2 car garage, while not attached does have a covered walkway to the house providing coverage from the elements. The roomy eat-in kitchen has stainless appliances and updated countertops. The light filled living room has views of neighboring pasture as well as open yard. 3 bedrooms and full bath round out the main living area. Hardwood floors give a warm and cozy vibe.
Walk out basement has a nicely finished family room with wood stove overlooking the back yard. Laundry room, 1/2 bath and a bonus room finish off this very clean and dry basement. Outbuildings include a pool house for storing all the pool supplies for the above ground pool and you might be able to find a place for a hen or two. Well-maintained, manageable in size make this the perfect home for most anyone. Please call for a showing today!
