OFFER DEADLINE SUNDAY ~Tucked at the base of a quiet wooded hill in Springfield, this 1918 cottage has lived over a century and arrived at this moment looking its very best. It is the kind of home where original hardwood flrs greet you at the door, where light through newer windows finds its way across fresh neutral paint, and where a pair of whimsical under-stair nooks sit beneath the staircase like a wink from another era. The kitchen brightens with stainless appliances and recessed lighting, a coffee-first room that works just as well for slow Sunday mornings as for weeknight dinners. The living and dining area flows with the comfortable rhythm only a well-loved older home can hold. Step up the narrow stairs into the loft primary bedroom and the whole home opens overhead into angled ceilings, soft new carpet underfoot, and two tall windows that frame trees in every season. It is the kind of room that welcomes a long read, a long nap, and long quiet mornings. Out back, a private meadow waits, shaped by care from what used to be a tangled woodlot into a green stage for morning coffee and evening conversation. A small shed and a storage box stay on. In summer, the mature tree border leafs out and the world disappears. In winter, sunlight threads through bare branches and the view opens up again. Behind the charm sits the real reassurance. This home has been loved by more than one owner, and it shows. Nearly every major system has been thoughtfully brought forward. New vinyl windows, an updated electrical panel, all new PVC plumbing, updated forced-air heating, recessed lighting, a basement air circulation system, a dehumidifier, and a quiet battery backup standing ready through any storm. A recently refreshed interior and new carpet upstairs are the final touches of an owner who treated the house with genuine respect. With local inventory this thin and turn-key character homes in this price range rarely arriving this complete, the window here does not stay open long.
