Cozy brick, close to school

By Chris Pagano

Southeast Missourian

This three-bedroom home is in the Meadow Heights School District and is actually listed below the recent appraisal price.

Hardwood flooring interspersed throughout the mostly carpeted home offers an alternative in flooring, if desired. The tin roof is just a few years old, and the front of this all-brick home is shaded while the back is sunny and level -- a great potential pool area or large garden area. The property is 1.32 acres.

The home's angled design sets it apart.

The large picture window in the living room allows plenty of sunlight to filter in.

The front foyer adds privacy at the entrance with an open shelf, perfect for personal expression. A coat closet nearby is handy. The 15-by-26-foot living room has a large picture window with a great view of the front yard.

The nearby, eat-in kitchen has a dining room area, creating plenty of space for guests. Other features include a built-in China closet, textured swirl pattern ceiling, lazy Susan, two wall ovens and separate cooktop plus a window over the sink. There is access to the basement and deck from the room. The floor is covered with comfortable indoor/outdoor carpeting.

The basement is unfinished. The stairway divides the large space and with a door to the outside, there is potential for another living area. A sink and toilet and laundry facilities are already installed in this area.

A full bath on the main level has a large vanity with mirror and cheerful ceramic wall tile.

Three bedrooms are located across from the living room/kitchen area; one with a door off the kitchen. This bedroom has wood flooring and coordinating paneling that puts it a notch above the others.

If dinner for two is in the plans, this eat-in kitchen will come in handy.

The remaining two bedrooms have big closets.

An attached garage has a door leading to the back yard and large windows.
