Exceptional Hillshire Estates home offering rare flexibility -- live on the main level while the fully equipped lower-level apartment generates rental income or hosts extended family. The main level showcases a private primary suite with ensuite bath, two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a bright, modern kitchen with island, gas range, pantry, and breakfast room -- plus a formal dining room and cozy fireplace. The lower level is a self-contained retreat with its own kitchen, bedroom, full bath, fireplace, separate laundry hookups, and generous storage. Major exterior systems -- roof, soffits, and gutters -- were all recently replaced. The MKT Trail is accessible directly from Hillshire Dr, just steps from your front door. Two Homes in One -- Endless Possibilities Whether you're an owner-occupant looking to offset your mortgage, a multigenerational family seeking connected-but-separate living, or an investor seeking built-in rental income, this Hillshire Estates gem delivers a lifestyle solution that's genuinely hard to find. Main Level Living at Its Finest The main level is thoughtfully designed for comfortable, everyday living. The primary bedroom suite offers a private sanctuary complete with an ensuite bathroom -- your own retreat at the end of the day. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath round out the sleeping quarters, providing plenty of room for family, guests, or a home office. At the heart of the main level is a bright, modern kitchen that checks every box. A large island anchors the space, providing both prep room and casual seating. The gas range will delight the home cook, and a dedicated pantry closet keeps everything organized and within reach. A cheerful breakfast room flows naturally from the kitchen, perfect for morning coffee or casual weeknight dinners. When the occasion calls for something more formal, a separate dining room is ready to impress. A conveniently located laundry room just off the kitchen keeps daily chores tucked away but easily accessible. The main level also features a fireplace -- ideal for Columbia's chilly Missouri winters -- adding warmth and ambiance to your living space. Lower Level -- A Fully Equipped Apartment The lower level has been thoughtfully designed to function as a completely independent living space. It features a full kitchen, a comfortable bedroom, a full bathroom, its own fireplace, and separate laundry hookups -- everything a tenant or family member needs to live independently and comfortably. Whether used as a long-term rental, a short-term furnished suite, an au pair or in-law suite, or a private space for a college-aged child returning home, the lower level offers genuine versatility that adapts to your life as it evolves. The large unfinished storage area provides exceptional bonus space -- whether for the owner's use, additional tenant storage, a workshop, or future finishing. Recently Replaced Exterior Systems Peace of mind comes built in. The roof, soffits, and gutters have all been recently replaced -- meaning the buyer inherits the full life expectancy of these critical systems without the worry or expense of near-term replacement. This is a significant value rarely found in a home of this vintage. Location -- Where Hillshire Estates Meets the Great Outdoors This is where Hillshire Estates truly sets itself apart. Step outside your front door and the MKT Trail -- one of Columbia's most treasured outdoor amenities -- is accessible directly from Hillshire Dr, just down the street. The MKT Trail is part of the beloved Katy Trail corridor, stretching across Missouri and offering miles of scenic, traffic-free passage for walkers, joggers, cyclists, and nature lovers of every stripe. Whether it's a sunrise run, an evening bike ride, or a leisurely afternoon stroll, world-class trail access is woven into your daily routine from day one. And for dog owners, this location is nothing short of a dream. Twin Lakes Dog Park -- one of Columbia's most popular off-leas
