There's been blood, lots of sweat, and definitely tears from this home's restoration that took several years. And why did it take several years, you might ask? Because a 132 year old home can really take one to task! You've heard the phrase 'Rome wasn't built in a day'. And 'slow and steady wins the race' you might say. Well, the race is finally over and this house clearly won. And you'll soon find that it's truly second to none. Let's just say this ain't some amateur flip production, this is pure, heart swooning, old home seduction! It's as good as it gets for a true old home lover. A nearly perfect restoration is yours to discover. All original woodwork with varnish just gleaming framing plentiful windows with sunlight beaming into all of the rooms that are so generously sized where you'll find no expense or quality compromised. With 10 foot high ceilings, every room feels grand along with much detail in the trim carved by hand. There's large pocket doors that still roll along tracks from an era when there was a reviled closet tax. An original gas light fixture adorns a formal entry highlighting a foyer space that's so complementary. Venerable pine hardwoods adorn the main floor and vintage hardware that'll make your heart soar. You'll find this home's beauty goes beyond skin deep, there's all new mechanicals too and they weren't cheap! Plus there's transoms, corbels, and more fenestration that's impossible to escape your deep admiration. A home from the 19th century is indeed a rare find, let alone a home so preserved like this one of a kind. A testament to the builder whose labor well endures and now this exemplary home is ready to be yours. See it today and you'll appreciate all of it's past with the peace of mind that it's restored to LAST! The marketing description was NOT written by AI and you will likely find this home to be among the finest 100+ year old houses you'll ever see in Springfield, MO. Owner/agent.
