2608 Sarona Rd, Springfield, IL 62704

We purchased this house from the original owners and have called it home for 19 years now. It has been a wonderful place to raise a family, but we are now retired and ready to start a new life in Florida. Sarona is a quiet, one block street close to all west side shopping. We have 1500 sq. ft. upstairs and 1,100 square feet of finished basement downstairs. The main floor has a living room (12'4"x16'4"), 3 bedrooms (10'x10' 11'x13' 12'6"x15'), 2 baths (hall: 5'x7' master 7'x7'6"), and a huge kitchen/dining area/family room that is 42 by 16, complete with a gas fireplace at the family room end. The hall bath was completely gutted last year, and we installed a tall water efficient toilet and replaced the tub with a 5 ft. shower with seat. The kitchen is perfect for entertaining and multiple chefs. A huge amount of beautiful wood cabinets and lots of countertop space-all new last year. The appliances go with: huge side by side refrigerator, smooth top cooking stove, dishwasher, garbage disposal, and trash compactor.There is also a whole house fan. Off the family room area are patio doors that go out onto a 16 X 18 cedar-stained wood deck with built-in seating and flower boxes-again, lots of room for entertaining and bar-b-ques. The deck has euonymus and morning glories trailing up the lattice work for a sense of privacy and intimacy. The yard is one of the largest on the west side of Springfield-a quarter acre. The back is totally fenced in, with various gardens and landscaped areas for flowers and veggies. There is also an above ground pool that was Aqualand Pool. We have only used Baquacil in it, and it’s great, but if you prefer not to have a pool, we have several people foaming at the mouth for it and will gladly remove it.. The front yard has various landscaped areas with poured concrete borders and rock. Perennials and annuals give color all season long. The garage is an oversized 2.5+ car, with cabinets and a closet for closed storage. There is also a ladder into the attic for additional storage. The basement is finished, featuring a large great area, and one whole wall of built in cabinets and a fireplace. There is also 12 ft of additional cabinet space to one side. A separate room (11'x13') has it’s own 3'x5' ½ bath built off of it that could be used as an office or extra bedroom. There is also a spacious laundry room with cabinets as well. The washer and dryer stay. There is a 500 square foot hidden area of shelved storage in a crawl space under the family room. This home has been lovingly cared-for and is move in ready. Are you ready?
