About this home
Located in a well-established Taylorville neighborhood where many residents have called home for years, this beautifully updated ranch blends small-town comfort with thoughtful modern improvements. With Springfield just about 30 minutes away, it's an ideal location for those who commute for work but enjoy the slower pace and strong sense of community Taylorville offers.
Inside, the home has been freshly updated with whole-home paint, new plaster and drywall work, and beautiful original hardwood floors that add warmth and character throughout. The remodeled kitchen features custom cabinetry, luxury vinyl tile flooring, a full appliance suite, new tile backsplash, and high-end finishes, creating a space that is both functional and stylish. Recessed lighting and open shelving provide the perfect place to display your favorite kitchen pieces while keeping the space bright and inviting. Natural light fills the home from room to room, even extending into the garage!
Major mechanical features offer peace of mind and efficiency, including solar panels for energy savings, a roof replaced in 2018, and a recently serviced, well-maintained HVAC system. The home also includes a water softener, whole-home water filtration system, and reverse osmosis tap in the kitchen. Gas appliances include the water heater, furnace, and oven/range.
Step outside to enjoy a fully fenced backyard that has been recently extended for added privacy, complete with a new deck and covered pergola—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Two utility buildings provide additional flexibility, including one with electric service that could easily serve as a workshop, she-shed, or backyard tiki hut. A separate side gate with gravel access offers convenient space for boat, RV, or additional parking.
The two-car garage has been updated with extensive storage and cabinet space and is currently set up as a home gym. It also provides direct access into the kitchen, the backyard, and a side door leading to trash storage and a Generac generator hookup system.
A well-maintained home with thoughtful upgrades, flexible outdoor space, and a location that makes it easy to enjoy both community living and a Springfield commute. Schedule your private showing today and come see everything this home has to offer....
