PRICE IMPROVEMENT! Now offered at $649,900—and the opportunity is even better. Let's start with the backyard. Instead of another row of homes, yours includes a wooded area that adjoins 35 acres of Deer Ridge Nature Park, complete with walking trails, a pond, and the kind of privacy that's becoming increasingly hard to find. Even better, a 2.75% VA loan may be assumable by a qualified, eligible VA buyer, subject to lender approval. Built in 2019 and offering 2,554 sq ft of thoughtfully designed living space, this beautifully maintained ranch sits on a generous .66-acre lot and blends modern style with everyday comfort. Inside, soaring 12-ft great room ceilings and an open-concept design create a bright, welcoming space. The gourmet kitchen is designed for gathering, featuring quartz countertops, a large quartz-top center island with breakfast bar, walk-in pantry, stainless steel appliances, double ovens, and a gas cooktop. The adjoining great room keeps everyone connected, whether you're entertaining or enjoying a quiet evening at home. The main level offers 3 spacious bedrooms, a private office just off the foyer, 2 full baths, a guest half bath, main-floor laundry, and a convenient mudroom off the garage. The spacious primary suite provides a relaxing retreat with a custom-tiled dual walk-in shower and generous walk-in closet. Need room to grow? The finished walkout lower level includes an additional bedroom and full bath, while the expansive unfinished space—with 9-foot poured foundation walls—is ready for a media room, fitness area, workshop, or exceptional storage. The lower-level streaming movie projector and 9' x 11' movie screen remain with the home. Step outside and you'll understand why this home feels like a retreat. Enjoy morning coffee on the patio, unwind in the included hot tub, gather around the fire pit, or simply take in the peaceful, wooded backdrop. Here, nature isn't just nearby—it's part of everyday life. The oversized 3-car garage features a tandem 4th-car bay, epoxy-coated floor, and 240-volt EV charging outlet, offering incredible flexibility for additional vehicles, hobbies, and storage. Additional highlights include luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout, tile flooring in all bathrooms, irrigation system, invisible pet fence, professionally installed and programmable Trim Lights, and Ring doorbell/security cameras that remain with the home. 3 refrigerators and the large-capacity washer/dryer also remain. And the lifestyle extends well beyond your property line. Lake Saint Louis Community Center privileges are included, offering access to coveted lake privileges, swimming pools, clubhouse, golf, tennis and pickleball courts, dining, and year-round community events. Privacy. Space. Nature. Community. This is more than a beautiful home—it's a rare opportunity to enjoy the space and serenity of a private retreat while still having access to an exceptional community lifestyle. Now offered at $649,900, this home is ready to welcome its next owner.
