Welcome to 120 Springfield Ave, a Chestnut Hill classic Colonial! This spacious twin has been cherished and maintained for decades by the current owner.

The kitchen has been updated with a stainless steel appliance suite, including a gas range, has a functional layout with an abundance of counter space and cabinets, as well as lovely views to the back garden. A small butler's pantry and a convenient half bath located adjacent to the back door complete the first floor.
