About 42 N Cotton Hill Ln

A rare opportunity to own one of the most extraordinary Lake Springfield properties presents itself. Sitting on over an acre, and offering unparalleled views from virtually everywhere, both inside and out. The second you step inside your eyes are immediately drawn to the stunning 2 story wall of windows that provide breathtaking lake views, and immense natural light. Gorgeous hard wood flooring spans the open floor plan of the main level. Amazing living room with gas fireplace, plus formal dining and picturesque breakfast nook. The primary suite is a showstopper, complete with a massive walk-in closet that has to be seen to be believed. Cooks of all kinds will love the size and beauty of this kitchen, with a double wall oven, island w/gas range, counter and cabinet space galore, and a walk-in pantry.

That's just inside! The exterior checks every box with a truly impressive wraparound deck on the main level, and the walkout basement leading to a partially covered concrete patio that seemingly never ends. There's an attached 2 car garage, a detached 2 car garage that could house a boat, and a dock with a new heavy duty lift. Geothermal keeps utilities low. Sump w/water backup. Two H2O heaters. Did I mention the views?
