Welcome to this 3-bedroom, 2-bath raised ranch offering a perfect blend of character, comfort, and functionality. Vaulted ceilings and a large gas fireplace create a warm, inviting living room, while laminate flooring runs throughout the main floor for a cohesive, low-maintenance feel. The kitchen and dining area flow together easily and feature a tile backsplash, distressed painted cabinets, and a chalkboard wall that adds a fun, creative touch. Just down the hall, you’ll find a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet and en suite bath complete with tile flooring and a walk-in tile shower. Two additional bedrooms are generously sized, with one currently set up as a cozy library featuring built-in shelving and ready for your next page turner! The partially finished basement offers additional living space, a non-conforming fourth bedroom, plus storage and laundry. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard with patio space and great curb appeal, highlighted by fresh landscaping and a beautiful new wood railing at the front entry. Solar panels and a newer HVAC system add efficiency. And the location at 24 Highway and 291 provides convenient access to amenities - all settled in the Fort Osage School District!
