COMING Soon with Showings to begin Friday 8/14 but you can view the 3D tour today! Four bedrooms, 2,400 square feet of finished living space, and a level, fully fenced third-acre lot! . This brick-front split foyer sits in a quiet pocket of north Dupo and has been well cared for. Solid wood stairs with a spindled rail lead up to a bright living room framed by a large picture window with decorative trim. The adjoining dining area opens through French doors to a two-tier deck. The eat-in kitchen offers ceramic tile flooring, a decorative tile backsplash, and generous cabinetry, and all appliances stay — including the washer and dryer. Down the hall you'll find two bedrooms and both full baths. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet, a sitting area, and a private bath with jetted whirlpool tub. The hall bath offers a large vanity and tub-shower combination. The fully finished walk-up lower level is where this home sets itself apart: a spacious family room with a large daylight window, a second flexible living area, two additional bedrooms with egress windows and roomy closets, and a tiled bonus room with a bay window just off the garage entry — a natural mudroom, home office, or study. Laundry with scrub sink and abundant storage complete the level. Outside, the upper deck steps down to a second deck and then to a patio running nearly the full width of the home, continuing to a concrete pad with a basketball goal. Mature shade trees provide real cover, and the storage shed with roll-up overhead door is approximately five years old. The oversized attached garage is a genuine find: interior access to the lower level, a rear service door, and a second overhead door at the back so you can drive straight through into the backyard. Architectural shingle roof approximately 10 years old and carpet approximately five years old. Insulated double-hung windows, central air, forced air heat and 200-amp service. No HOA; Dupo School District; and only minutes to I-255 and the JB Bridge for an easy St. Louis commute. This home will have a passed occupancy and available for a fast closing!
