Description

This spacious, versatile, and well-maintained Colonial is located in one of Springfield’s most convenient and desirable neighborhoods. Set on a quiet, sidewalk-lined street, this charming home offers an ideal blend of comfort, flexibility, and function—perfect for a variety of lifestyles and living arrangements. Inside, you'll find a thoughtfully designed layout starting with the main-level bedroom suite, which can function as a private first-floor primary retreat or a fully separate in-law suite. This flexible space includes its own family room, a spacious bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a full bathroom, all tucked away behind a door for added privacy. It’s perfect for guests, extended family, or anyone seeking the convenience of a first floor bedroom. The main level continues with a large, inviting family room with a classic wood-burning fireplace, perfect for cozy evenings. A separate front living room or home office offers added flexibility for work-from-home needs, play space, or formal entertaining. The eat-in kitchen features gas cooking, refreshed appliances, durable tile flooring, and a layout ideal for everyday living and casual meals. Upstairs, you'll find three generously sized bedrooms and a full hall bath, offering plenty of room for family, guests, or hobbies. Throughout the home, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the amount of closet and storage space, which far exceeds expectations. The expansive basement provides even more usable space with a separate laundry area and abundant room for storage, a home gym, workshop, or hobbies. Step outside to enjoy the screened-in rear porch, a peaceful spot to relax or entertain while enjoying the view of the fully fenced backyard—lined with low-maintenance white vinyl fencing and gated for convenience and security. A front paver walkway adds welcoming curb appeal. This home has benefited from numerous major improvements in the past decade, including updated windows, exterior doors, siding, and roof—all of which provide long-term peace of mind. Even more recently, the central air conditioning system was replaced in 2024, and the entire sewer lateral was newly installed, offering significant savings and value for the next owner. Best of all, the location is unbeatable—just a short walk to local parks and highly regarded schools, and only minutes from shopping, restaurants, public transportation, and major commuting routes. Whether you're looking for a home to grow into, space for extended family, or the opportunity to customize, 340 E Thomson Avenue offers exceptional potential and lasting value. Some moderate interior updates would make this home shine!
