Welcome to this meticulously maintained, center hall brick colonial home in the charming Woodmere neighborhood - located within the Newington section of South Springfield. Surrounded by creeks and meandering paved trails, you will love the mature trees, lush landscaping, and wide streets that make this the perfect place to call home. Two blooming trees (one perfect for climbing) flank either side of the large front yard. A brick and slate sidewalk lead to the covered portico, inviting you inside. The foyer opens to a large living room on one side and a sitting room on the other, both with hardwood floors and large windows. The spacious kitchen is suitable for a dinner table and has ample cabinetry, stone countertops, and the first of two sliding glass doors to the large deck that looks out into the woods. The formal dining room with a gas fireplace, beautiful hearth, traditional mantle, and dark hardwood floors is the perfect place for hosting family and friends. The large sunroom addition is stunning - with a vaulted ceiling, French doors, large windows, and beautiful sliding glass doors to the rear deck - and flooded with natural light. A convenient half bathroom completes the main level. Upstairs, the hardwood floors flow seamlessly from one room to the next. The spacious primary bedroom features two closets (one walk-in), a lovely built-in vanity with pendant lighting and large mirror, and an en-suite bathroom. The three additional bedrooms are all generously sized and share a large hall bath. The basement is partially finished (concrete floors, drywalled throughout, with exposed-beam ceiling) and offers a large, flexible space (second family room, playroom, office, etc), sliding glass door walk-out to backyard, and another full bathroom. Plus a spacious laundry area, built-in shelving, and a workbench. Outside, the huge, relatively flat backyard is bordered by mature trees and a glimpse of one of the paved trails connecting you to many neighborhood amenities.
