With exposed brick in the eat-in kitchen and a cozy family room complete with a decorative fireplace, this unit offers a unique blend of modern living and vintage charm. Large windows, including an egress window in the bedroom, bring in plenty of natural light. Private garage parking via the alley adds convenience and peace of mind. Plus, with all utilities included and the future Linc Greenway just steps away, this unit is ideal for someone looking to live simply—and smartly—in a growing neighborhood. Location & Community The property sits in the historic Old Aristocracy Hill neighborhood—a centrally located district within walking distance of landmarks like the Dana‑Thomas House and a short drive to Springfield Memorial Hospital. Future Greenway Access The property directly faces the future Third Street Greenway—a planned 3–6 mile pedestrian and bike trail developed as part of the Springfield Rail Improvements Project. This greenway will run along the former rail corridor, connecting neighborhoods and business districts with safe, green paths. Coupled with a recent master plan for downtown and the medical district, the area is on track for continued investment and revitalization.
