Wow! Opportunities like this don't come often—especially under $500k in Kirkwood for a move-in ready home in a sought-after location. The main level and bedrooms feature beautiful hardwood floors. The living and dining room combination offers flexibility and options, complemented by lighted built-in bookcases for an added touch. The kitchen is fresh, showcasing white cabinets, a dishwasher (2026), and a new faucet (2025). For those who prefer cooking with gas, this kitchen checks that box! The pantry provides additional storage space, and the kitchen is conveniently located right off the dining room, which is accented with crown molding and plantation shutters. You'll be impressed by BOTH bathrooms, which have been completely updated with subway tile, frameless showers, tile flooring, new vanities, and updated lighting. The main-level bathroom is bright and modern, while the full bathroom on the second level retains the Kirkwood charm with its distinctive flooring. All four bedrooms are spacious and equipped with closet organizers, and the primary bedroom offers separate his-and-hers closets, each large enough to accommodate a king-sized bed. Looking for flexibility in your living space? The partially finished lower level features a recreation room, but there's still plenty of storage available. If you're seeking a fenced-in backyard designed for entertaining, this home checks that box as well! Enjoy a paver patio alongside a spacious deck with only three steps—this is the perfect home you’ve been looking for. The updates the seller has made during ownership include: both bathrooms, lighting, roof (2024), privacy fence (2022), landscaping, freshly painted interiors, new garbage disposal (2024), driveway leveling (2026), dishwasher (2026), hot water heater (2022), brick walkway on the side of the home (2023), upper-level bathroom (2026), main bathroom (2020), kitchen cabinet repainting (2020), and landscaping updates from 2020 to 2026.
