332 FRANKLIN AVENUE

Privacy, Charm & Resort-Style Living on a Tree-Lined Street.

Welcome to 332 Franklin Avenue, a beautifully updated 3,300+ sq ft colonial nestled on one of the most desirable tree-lined streets in Springfield -- where kids safely ride bikes and neighbors still wave hello. This move-in-ready 5-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home offers the perfect blend of timeless curb appeal and modern comfort, set within the award-winning Springfield School District.

Out front, mature trees, manicured landscaping, and a 4-car driveway with an EV charger create a picturesque first impression. Step inside to a tiled foyer with a coat closet, opening to a formal living room with gleaming hardwood floors, crown molding, wainscoting, and a sun-filled bay window. The adjoining dining room is perfect for hosting family dinners or holiday gatherings.

At the heart of the home is a spacious eat-in kitchen featuring solid wood cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances (including a trash compactor), and a sunny breakfast nook. A cozy den just off the kitchen offers the ideal space to relax with a book or movie night. A convenient powder room completes the main level.

Step outside and you'll find a private backyard retreat that feels more like a resort. Designed for entertaining and relaxing, the fully fenced yard features an 11.5-foot-deep heated pool, 8-person hot tub, 50-foot slate patio for dining under the stars, built-in outdoor speakers, two storage sheds, and plenty of open space for play and lounging. It's rare to find this level of privacy and space, especially in such a prime location.

The finished basement adds even more versatility, with a large rec room or media space, plus a private in-law suite with a separate entrance, full bath, laundry area, and kitchenette potential--ideal for guests, extended family, or a rental setup.

Upstairs, the primary suite is a private sanctuary with plush carpet, a walk-in closet, an updated ensuite bath, and a private fiberglass deck overlooking the backyard--perfect for morning coffee or evening stargazing. Three additional spacious bedrooms and a hall bathroom complete this level. A large attic offers abundant storage.
