Exceptional Hillshire Estates home offering rare flexibility -- live on the main level while the fully equipped lower-level apartment or mother-in-law suite hosts extended family or generates rental income. The main level stuns with a custom chef's kitchen featuring panoramic windows framing a private wooded backyard, and a living room with floor-to-ceiling windows that feels like a treehouse retreat. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 baths on the main level plus 1 bedroom and a bath on the lower level with laundry facilities on both levels. Roof, gutters, downspouts, and fascia recently replaced with full warranties. The MKT Trail and Twin Lakes Dog Park are just down the street -- walk, run, bike, or let the dog run free without ever getting in a car. With stunning attention to detail and quality, new chef's kitchen designed by Putnam's 1012 Studio and custom crafted by Dimensions in Wood -- quartz countertops, handmade artisan tile backsplash, gas range with griddle, double oven, microwave drawer, pull-out cabinets, corner Le Mans cabinet, Kraus bar faucet, and panoramic Pella casement windows overlooking a serene wooded backyard. Under-cabinet and silver-sleeved recessed LED lighting complete the space. This is a kitchen built for people who actually cook. Solid wood floors run throughout the main level. Marble and porcelain floors in the bathrooms and laundry room add a spa-like quality that's both luxurious and durable. The living room's floor-to-ceiling windows and the mature tree canopy beyond create a sense of privacy and natural beauty that feels rare in a neighborhood setting. Both fireplaces feature a gas start, wood-burning capability, and Heatilator fans -- ambiance and efficiency in equal measure. An attic fan enables whole-house ventilation on cool nights. The lower-level apartment is fully independent -- its own kitchen, bedroom, full bath, fireplace, separate laundry hookups, and a private entrance via bluestone steps to a lower deck. A large unfinished storage area offers room for a workshop or future finishing. The roof, gutters, downspouts, and fascia were recently replaced with full warranties included. Step outside and the MKT Trail is at the end of the street -- a genuine bike commute to MU campus and downtown Columbia, or simply miles of scenic trail for running, walking, and weekend rides. Twin Lakes Dog Park is an easy walk away. The wooded backyard, the trail, the dog park -- the lifestyle here is the feature.
