4631 S Lakehill Ave, Springfield, MO 65804

A mid-century ranch on a full acre, steps from the Springfield Conservation Nature Center. The land is the headline here: 1.06 acres of mature oaks in 65804, with a broad open front lawn and a deep fenced back yard that runs straight to the woods. No rear neighbors — just trees. The Nature Center's trails and boardwalks start a short walk from the front door, and Sequiota Park and the Galloway trail are minutes up the road. Lots like this in this part of town effectively don't come up. The house has been brought forward without being stripped of what makes it good. Refinished red oak floors run through the entry, living room, and family room, framed by the original stained wood trim. The living room opens through a wall of casement windows onto the front lawn. Beyond it, the family room is the heart of the house: exposed wood beams, a floor-to-ceiling white-painted brick fireplace, and another wall of windows facing the back. The kitchen steps up off the family room and runs the full width of the house — an entire wall of floor-to-ceiling cabinetry, new flooring, white counters, and a full stainless appliance suite including a built-in wall oven. A mudroom, laundry, and full bath sit just off the kitchen, with a second exterior door to the patio. Two bedrooms sit down a quiet carpeted hall, each with a ceiling fan and a wide bifold closet, sharing a full bath with a long quartz vanity, a built-in seated counter, and new fixtures. A bank of original built-in wood drawers is set into the hallway wall — one of several details here, along with the wood plantation shutters, that simply don't get built anymore. Outside: a new architectural roof, an attached two-car garage with knotty pine walls, a storage shed, and room to actually do something with the yard. Buyer's agents welcome.
