2412 HILLSHIRE DR, Columbia, MO 65203

Property Description

Tucked into established Hillshire Estates, this 4-bedroom, 3-bath walkout ranch offers 2,965 finished square feet, a wooded backyard and a floor plan that makes exceptional use of its space across both levels. The main level welcomes you with expansive living spaces, solid wood floors, vaulted ceilings, a fireplace, formal dining room and large windows that bring in natural light while overlooking the mature trees beyond. The kitchen was completely reimagined in 2025, with the design by Putnam's Studio 1012 and cabinetry built by Dimensions in Wood. Its redesigned footprint replaces the former peninsula with a generous island, creating an open flow between cooking, gathering and entertaining spaces. Ceiling-height custom cabinetry incorporates an impressive amount of specialized storage, complemented by quartz countertops, handmade tile backsplash, new Pella casement windows, a dedicated beverage station, stainless appliances, double air-fry gas oven, microwave drawer and LED under-cabinet lighting. The walkout lower level sets this home apart, offering a true second living arrangement ideal for multigenerational living, extended-stay guests or anyone wanting added privacy and flexibility. The space includes its own full kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, fireplace, living area, additional laundry hookups and separate exterior entrance. A privacy door at the stairway allows the lower level to function independently from the main floor when desired. Outdoor spaces take advantage of the home's wooded setting, with an elevated deck overlooking the trees, a lower-level deck and separate bluestone access to the walkout level. The backyard feels tucked away while still offering usable lawn space. Major improvements include a new roof, soffits, fascia, gutters and downspouts in 2026 with a transferable warranty, along with solid wood flooring, marble and porcelain bathroom flooring, upgraded plumbing fixtures, a granite fireplace hearth and numerous thoughtful improvements throughout. Fireplaces on both levels offer gas and wood-burning options with Heatilator systems. A 2-car garage adds everyday convenience, while approximately 1,000 square feet of unfinished lower-level space provides substantial storage and room for future possibilities--whether a home gym, workshop, theater, office or additional finished space. The location adds another layer to the home, with Twin Lakes Recreation Area nearby, offering more than 70 acres of outdoor recreation including a fishing lake, playground, picnic areas, off-leash dog parks and non-motorized boating. Trail access connects to the County House and MKT Trails, providing miles of opportunities for walking, running and biking, with the MKT continuing to the Katy Trail. With nearly 3,000 finished square feet, extensive updates, a wooded setting and a lower level that can live almost like a home of its own, this Hillshire Estates property offers a combination of space and versatility that's increasingly hard to find.
