Whether you’re entertaining friends or are greeting your neighbors as they stroll by, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a better front porch in Springfield, and the best part is this is just the wonderful first impression.

It gets better! Be sure to see the video tour.

This Craftsman-style home was lovingly refurbished in 2013, with architecture by Rill Architects. The home's interior is filled with architectural details from floor to ceiling.

The gourmet kitchen was separately designed by Aiden Design, creating a kitchen that is both beautiful and functional. The appliances are all high-end gourmet appliances: two Wolf ovens, a 36” Sub Zero refrigerator, a 60” Blue Star cooktop with a 24” griddle, a Vent-a-Hood range hood, and two KitchenAid dishwashers.

The custom cabinets are Wood Mode and BrookHaven, offering the best storage solutions. The countertops are quartzite, and the kitchen island has a unique marble top and a Grothouse end-cut walnut butcher block. And if that is not enough, there is a walk-in pantry with built-in cabinetry, a separate full-size upright freezer and a separate full-size refrigerator and freezer.

This gourmet kitchen has a scale that spills out to decks and porches.

It’s like bringing the outdoor feeling indoors. One deck has its own built-in stone fireplace. A second deck is dedicated to grilling and bar-b-queuing. The kitchen opens to an expansive and dramatic family room, which has a soaring, double-height, stained wood ceiling, a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace, and a family eating space. Finally, there are two sets of French Doors that open to the rear deck.

This house just has great flow!

Other first-floor qualities include three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a separate office, and a beautiful service bar with a Hoshizaki Clear Ice maker and a separate beverage refrigerator.

The upstairs level provides a Primary suite, a second bedroom, and a laundry room. The Primary Suite takes advantage of great natural light! The suite has two separate walk-in closets that are small rooms by themselves. The bathroom in the Primary Suite includes a walk-in shower and a Maax Whirlpool and Air System that provides a bubbler feature and therapeutic jets.

The lowest level of the house is entertainment-focused.

The large entertainment space is great for TV watching or playing games. The lower-level entertainment room has beautiful, coffered ceilings, and there are two sets of French doors that lead out to the lower-level flagstone patio. Additionally, on the lower level, there is a second wet bar with an ice maker and a separate beverage refrigerator, an exercise room, a full bathroom, a separate laundry room, and a separate suite with its own walk-in closet. The separate suite offers a multitude of opportunities to meet the unique needs of the next owner… this could serve as a nanny suite, an in-law suite, a professional office, or a sixth bedroom.

This home needs to be on your must-see list!
