725 S Weller Ave, Springfield, MO 65802

Welcome to 725 South Weller Avenue in the Pickwick Place subdivision of Rountree. This magnificent home is very likely the nicest and lowest maintenance 106 year-old home you will ever find on the market. The home is perfectly located on Weller Avenue, just over a block south of the restaurants, brewery, and shops at the popular corner of Pickwick and Cherry. The interior is approximately 2,058 sq. ft. with 9 ft. ceilings throughout, 3 large bedrooms, and 3 bathrooms including two master en-suites, and the washer/dryer beautifully integrated into the main floor master bath. Attention to detail is evident in solid oak flooring throughout, custom tiled bathrooms, solid quartz countertops and vanities, a beautiful coffee bar in the kitchen, extensive trim throughout including crown molding, French doors, multi-piece window trim, and headers above every doorway. Final touches include timeless custom drapes and window shades with some shades being motorized, built-in ironing boards in both master suites, and a custom hall tree with a storage bench. The home was built in 1919 and extensively updated in 2019. The exterior was wrapped in ZIP System sheathing with fully taped seams, new Pella high-efficiency wood windows, and LP SmartSide wood siding with a 50-year paint finish; you’ll enjoy low utility bills with no cold drafts in this home. The front of the home has been completely redesigned to add a craftsman arch, a soaring vaulted porch ceiling with redwood stained finish, and an all new porch built with treated tongue and groove flooring, and custom solid copper gutters and downspouts cap off the century-old charm. Lastly, the porch faces east, so evenings on the porch are reminiscent of a Norman Rockwell painting, as it provides a perfect spot to relax and visit with your neighbors on their evening walks. The home includes an oversized and air-conditioned 3-car garage measuring nearly 23’ deep x 31’ wide, with 10 ft. ceilings, and 8 ft. high doors for easy parking of the largest SUVs; all with super easy alley access. The main garage matches the home, and an additional detached 9’ x 20’ single car garage provides plenty of storage for bicycles and lawn equipment and also matches the home. Both garages have epoxy coated floors, painted walls and ceilings, and full insulation. The home is located at a higher elevation in the Rountree area, and the rain gutters are connected to an underground system that discharges rainwater well away from the home. This combination keeps the basement very dry with no flooding or water issues. The landscaping is beautiful, simple, and surprisingly low maintenance with a weed-free fescue sodded lawn, raised flower beds with mature hostas, ferns, and a beautiful blue atlas dwarf cedar. The irrigation system throughout the front of the home is WiFi and timer controlled. On the inside, the home was stripped of the lathe and plaster on all walls and ceilings, then fully insulated throughout including interior walls clad with fresh smooth-finished drywall, Rockwool sound proofing insulation between the floors, and blown-in insulation in the attic. The HVAC system has been updated with dual control zones and separate thermostats for upstairs and downstairs, and dual water heaters also serve upstairs and downstairs separately. The chimney was relined and tuck pointed, a chimney damper installed, and an original style natural gas coal box fitted with pushbutton electric ignition. The home can be easily described as a new home in a century-old subdivision, but some original and cherished historical features remain, including the front door, the front picture window with thick beveled glass, the piano window above the coffee bar, the fireplace mantel, the original exposed brick chimney in the kitchen, and the original divided glass back door which has been repurposed as the pantry door in the kitchen.
