This absolutely adorable home offers just the right amount of space for first-time buyers, downsizers, and anyone in between. Conveniently located on the North end of town for easy St. Louis access, this 2-bed, 2-bath charmer includes an attached single-car garage and a manageable yard with a ready-to-go garden area for your spring plantings. A cute covered front porch sets the tone for seasonal décor. Inside, laminate flooring flows throughout the home. The property underwent a full remodel prior to the seller’s 2020 purchase, and the seller has continued the updates with fresh countertops, a stone backsplash, and stainless steel appliances for a crisp kitchen look. The cozy living room features a wood-burning fireplace with blower and opens directly to the kitchen for easy everyday living. The home is all-electric with heat-pump climate control and includes a centrally located laundry area. Bedroom #1 offers a walk-in closet, and the adjacent full bath—updated in 2020—features a tub/shower combo and ceramic tile. The primary bedroom includes a walk-in closet with built-ins and its own full bath with tub/shower combo and ceramic flooring. Outside, you’ll find a nice-sized side yard and virtually no backyard to maintain. Additional features include a **new roof in 2025**, whole-house attic fan, dry insulated crawl space, and a garage walk-door for convenience. This home is truly a charmer!
