403 Leisure Street

About this property

The street's named Leisure. The house lives up to it. Pull up to 403 Leisure and the first thing you notice is shade. Two mature trees out front, standing there longer than most of the houses around them. Walk in and it opens up. Vaulted ceilings over the main living area. Brick fireplace anchoring the room. Clean sight lines from the front window all the way back to the kitchen. Nobody cooks alone in this house. Whoever's at the stove is still in the conversation. Out back is where it earns its keep. Paver patio sized for the grill. Wood deck with string lights already hung. Privacy fence. Big shade tree in the corner of the yard. It's the kind of backyard where an ordinary Friday runs two hours long. Fire pit going, kids running, nobody in a hurry to leave. Day to day, here's what makes it work. 1,454 square feet, all on one level, not one wasted foot. Three bedrooms, two full baths. The primary is a true suite, private bath and glass door shower. Two more bedrooms down the hall with the second full bath, and one of them, shiplap accent wall and all, is set up as an office right now if you don't need the third. The kitchen is bright and crisp. White cabinetry, black hardware, tile backsplash, white appliances that stay. Vinyl plank flooring that handles boots, dogs, and spilled coffee without flinching. Main floor laundry right off it with a utility sink and cabinet storage. No hauling a full basket up and down stairs. Ever. Two car garage, finished and lit up bright, with pull down attic access for the totes you only touch twice a year. Storage shed out back for the mower and the lawn gear. At this size storage is usually the problem. Here it isn't. Short commute to Scott AFB. Truly move in ready, in a town people actually want to be in, at a price that still makes sense.nClean, updated ranches in New Baden don't linger. They never do.
