Inside, wood floors lead into the living room, where built-in bookshelves, a stunning knotty pine cathedral ceiling w/ oak beams, & a stone fireplace w/wood-burning insert create a warm & rustic atmosphere. Tall windows invite natural light & frame views of the trees, complemented by unique cut-rock stone & textured walls. The dining room's rich burgundy hue offers an elegant touch, while the quaint kitchen features a gas stove, stainless steel microwave & refrigerator w/lower freezer, compact dishwasher, ample cabinetry, & a charming glass-front display cabinet. Two main-level bedrooms share a spacious bath w/oak vanity & tiled tub/shower combo.

The upstairs bath is a showpiece w/a tiled walk-in shower, hammered copper sink, & an oak-framed mirror repurposed from historic Echols Hall at MU. The primary bedroom features a beautiful tongue-and-groove ceiling, adding to the home's rustic romance.
