Set in the heart of Ashley Park where homes rarely trade hands, this roughly 3,000 square foot French Country statement delivers extraordinary value. Quietly positioned on Springfield's sought after southeast side, within the Hickory Hills and Glendale school district,you are minutes from Sam's Club, Costco, Highways 60 and 65, Cox and St. John's hospitals, Missouri State University, and the Springfield Branson National Airport.A pebble stone drive and walkway lead to a custom garage door and glowing torches that lean more European estate than suburban home. Inside, natural light moves easily across soaring ceilings, architectural arches, textured walls, classic pillars, and custom tilework.A double sided fireplace anchors the main living spaces, creating warmth and flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. This is a home designed to host, unwind, and live well.The layout is exceptionally versatile, offering 3 bedrooms plus a non conforming bedroom, a dedicated flex room, and a reinforced storm shelter. Two distinct living spaces allow separation when desired and connection when it matters most. The enclosed basement includes a full bath and lends itself beautifully to a private guest suite, executive office, creative studio, fitness space, or wine room.The storm shelter room adds another layer of possibility, easily functioning as a weight room, or recording studio. The primary suite features a jetted soaking tub, walk in shower, and generous space that invites rest rather than rush.Out back, the setting turns serene. Lush landscaping, a privacy fence, a tranquil rock fountain, and a gazebo create a backyard that feels intentional and insulated from the world. Practical comfort is built into the home with an attic fan, paired with a whole home Generac generator that maintains power continuity so medical equipment stays running, food remains preserved, pipes are protected, and daily life continues uninterrupted.
