1306 N Brown Avenue, Springfield, MO 65802

Sometimes the updates make the home. At 1306 N Brown Ave, the sellers went through the whole house before listing -- fresh paint on every wall & new flooring -- and the result is a home that feels newer than its 2002 build date.You walk in and the living room opens up wider than you expect.

The tray ceiling adds height, the ceiling fan keeps it comfortable year-round, and the new flooring runs clean through the main living areas. It's the kind of space that's easy to picture your own furniture in because it doesn't need anything before you move in.The kitchen and dining area flow together without a wall between them.

Raised-panel cabinetry, a full appliance package -- and enough counter space to actually cook. Down the hall, the primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and its own full bath. Two more bedrooms share a second full bath. Out back, a deck steps down to a fully fenced yard -- room for a dog, a garden, or both.

One-car attached garage with a concrete drive out front. The sellers poured care into this home before they passed it on leaving it like a fresh start.Whoever steps through that door next will purchase a home that's already been loved and is simply ready to be loved again.
