6400 JULIAN ST

***You will have to see this home in person to truly understand how special it is*** Located in the Monticello Forest neighborhood, this fabulous surprisingly large expanded ranch offers a rare combination of space, flexibility, and privacy. Originally built in 1954 and thoughtfully expanded, the home features solid brick construction and a unique, functional layout. This home is truly one of a kind and worth visiting - even it to stroll the STUNNING backyard. This might be one of the prettiest gardens you will see in Springfield. Beauty and functionality combined.. the owners average $18.00 per month for electricity (the solar panels have been paid off). As the cost of electricity rises, owning such a large home won't have to cost you an arm and leg to keep cool and warm! With five bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms—including a large main-level suite—this home works well for multigenerational living, an au pair setup, or a private home office with its own entrance. Two laundry areas add convenience for larger households. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors, crown molding, abundant natural light, and fresh paint throughout. The primary bathroom includes a walk-in shower, high ceilings, and a skylight. The finished daylight lower level provides additional space for a gym, office, or recreation area. The home has two fireplaces with beautiful mantels. Set on 0.39 acres, the property offers a stunning private, park-like setting. The backyard backs to parkland, and the outdoor spaces include a patio and gazebo—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A large carport and extended driveway provide ample parking. This special home has been home lovingly cared for by the same family for decades. With a unique and flexible layout in a quiet, established neighborhood, this home offers both privacy and convenient access to nearby amenities.
