Country Quiet. Convenient Access. Built-In Income Potential. Tucked at the edge of the countryside near tree farms and the stunning WinterStone Golf Course — just 15 minutes from Liberty with convenient access to Highway 291 — this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch delivers the rare combination of peaceful, close-knit living and easy access to the metro when you need it. Inside, a bright, open-concept kitchen with brand-new stainless steel appliances flows into rich hardwood floors throughout the main living space. Every detail feels fresh, warm, and truly move-in ready. Downstairs is where this home sets itself apart. The basement — ready for finishing, with a full bathroom already in place and framing for a possible fourth bedroom — has its own private outside entrance, reached by a separate hall and staircase completely apart from the main living space. The garage also connects directly into this same private hall, with its own lockable access point. Because the space is fully separate from the backyard, it's set up beautifully as a private basement apartment, guest suite, or income-producing rental — flexibility that's genuinely hard to find at this price point. Out back, a fully fenced yard centers around a shaded, covered patio on a concrete slab, made for slow summer evenings and quiet sunrise coffee. And the numbers back it up: active solar panels keep utility bills exceptionally low, and a newer roof means years of peace of mind before you ever think about replacing it. Single-level living, country-quiet setting, and a basement built to earn its keep — this one won't sit long. Photos include virtual staging to help you envision the space's potential.
