170 Deer Lane, Fordland, MO 65652 (MLS# 60195901)

Experience the postcard worthy sunsets off your back deck while you sip a glass of wine and watch the wildlife roam. (They don't call it Deer Lane for nothing.) Just minutes outside of Springfield, enjoy the serenity and privacy for this gorgeous all brick walkout basement retreat. As you walk through the front doors, you're welcomed by vaulted ceilings and lots of natural light. Your semi open concept living room and kitchen offer a large entertaining space with access to the covered deck with water view. The kitchen has granite countertops including bar and island, walk-in pantry, plus coffee bar and access to your formal dining room. Also on the main floor is an office, hall bathroom, 1 of 2 laundry rooms, and a main floor master bedroom. Your expansive bedroom provides 2 walk-in closets, jetted tub, and walk-in shower. Moving down to the basement are the remaining bedrooms and bathrooms along with a 2nd full kitchen and bonus room - currently being used as an exercise area but could work for a playroom, wine room, etc. That space or the room under the stairs would both be good for a storm safe room. Just off the 2nd kitchen is an in-laws suite with connected bathroom, own laundry set up, and access to the covered patio. You'll also love the NEW ROOF and gutters, stunning hardwood floors, sprinkler system, wood burning stove, modern vessel sinks, storage shed, extra cellulose insulation in the attic with an R40+ rating, along with a gas powered back-up generator for peace of mind during our cold Missouri winters. Your 3 acres features a large koi pond, invisible fence perfect for pets, and lovely covered outdoor spaces overlooking a large pond stocked and ready for fishing. If you've been looking for a tranquil setting outside the chaos of the city, but you don't want to compromise convenience or cell service, this home definitely fits the bill. Plus how many people can say their property is certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a wildlife habitat?
