This striking 2-story white brick estate in Bluff Wood blends castle-like curb appeal with a peaceful, wooded backdrop. Set on a large lot with a circle drive in one of Springfield’s most scenic neighborhoods, this 1-owner home offers 4BR/5BA across 4,894 finished sqft of refined, executive-style living. Inside, rich hardwoods run through the grand main floor, where tray ceilings & pillar-accented transitions add timeless elegance to the formal LR & DR. The bright & spacious family room features a floor-to-ceiling fireplace flanked by windows, flowing seamlessly into a large eat-in kitchen with granite countertops, tile backsplash, quality cabinetry, island seating & newer stainless appliances (2022). French doors connect the kitchen to formal dining & the composite deck overlooking the fenced, park-like yard. A sitting room & main floor full bath add endless & easy entertainment potential, while upstairs houses all 4 BRs—highlighted by a stunning primary suite with tray ceiling, column-outlined sitting area, walk-in closet & spa-worthy bath with jetted tub + separate shower. The partially finished bsmt brings even more to love: full kitchen, rec room with tile flooring, full bath, loads of storage & another potential guest space. Dual-zoned HVAC (1 pair is newer), new irrigation system (2024), 2 sump pumps & a 3-car garage round out this timeless Bluffwoods beauty.
