About This Home
What an amazing opportunity! Nestled comfortably in one of Springfields oldest planned neighborhoods, historic Hawthorne Place is where you will find this classic American Foursquare duplex w/garage parking. In walking distance to Washington Park just south of downtown, this location provides quick access to I-55, downtown employers, & the medical district. There is no shortage of conveniences here! The beautifully maintained all brick construction offers long term peace of mind & w/2 units, each at ~1,500 sq ft, there is plenty of room to get comfortable. Showing a strong rental history of $3,200/mo, this is a truly sound investment. An easy to maintain yard is ideal for a rental investment property, & this one has it! The interior of the home has seen many updates, but still retains its authentic charm w/refinished true hardwood flooring, original custom built-ins, & radiant heat plus a wood burning fireplace. The Upper level received a beautiful facelift w/ fully renovated kitchen boasting new cabinets, granite counters, fixtures/hardware, custom tile backsplash & SS appliances, as well as a bathroom revamp w/newly tiled floors, new vanity, toilet & walk in shower. The main level is in great condition, but allows room for value add at minimal expense w/minor paint touchups that would go a long way! A Full basement offers great storage along w/unit-dedicated washers/dryers that convey with the home.The unfinished attic holds even more storage, or room to expand & grow!!
