About this property

Picture the weekend: coffee on the screened porch while the morning is still cool, friends pulling up stools at the built-in bar by evening, and not one home project on your list. That's the promise of this 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath all-brick ranch. The sellers have put about $135,000 into it since 2022, and they took care of the expensive, behind-the-walls work so you don't have to. Start with the primary suite. A sliding barn door opens to a bath that was taken down to the studs and rebuilt: marble-look tile floor to ceiling, a river-rock shower floor and niche, a glass slider, waterfall and handheld showers and brushed-gold fixtures. It's the kind of bathroom you'll want to show off. The hall bath was updated too, with new plumbing, fixtures, vanity, valve and tile floor. The main level feels warm and bright, with hardwood floors throughout and new recessed lighting. The living and dining room shares a big bay window, with plenty of room for a long dinner table. The kitchen has a double wall oven, gas cooktop and a peninsula that opens to a breakfast room with its own bay window, so whoever's cooking stays part of the conversation. Head downstairs and the house keeps going. New waterproof LVP runs through a long rec room anchored by a brick fireplace, with built-in cabinets and a bar wall with pipe shelving. Game day, movie night, or both at once. A separate flex room works as a gym, office or hobby space, and the unfinished area holds laundry and plenty of storage. Out back is where summer happens. The screened porch has a brick floor, a beamed wood ceiling, a ceiling fan and a built-in bar, and it opens onto a large new concrete patio and a wide, open yard. Grill out, spread out, or just sit back and watch the evening roll in. Now the part that lets you breathe easy: a new roof with new decking (2025), a high-efficiency HVAC system (2025), an exterior sump pump and French drain (2025), a 200-amp electric panel with a new service line, mast and meter, R-49 attic insulation over a sealed thermal envelope, and new gutters with guards. The concrete is new too: patio, wrap-around sidewalk and an extended driveway leading to the attached 2-car garage. The big-ticket work is done. All that's left is moving in. Seller prefers an "as-is" sale. Seller will acquire a passed St. Louis County Occupancy Inspection.
