Description

Move-in ready and only six years young, this 2020-built two-story in Indian Springs sits just minutes from Scott AFB with five bedrooms, three and a half baths, and 3,222 finished square feet across three levels. If you have been waiting for a home that is genuinely done, this is it. Step through the two-story foyer and the open floor plan does what you hoped it would. The family room, anchored by a stone gas fireplace, opens straight into the dining area and a kitchen built for people who actually cook: granite countertops, a large kitchen island with seating, a gas range, stainless appliances, and a walk-in pantry that holds everything. Cooking, homework and conversation all happen in the same space instead of three different rooms. Off the entry, a second living room nearly twenty-eight feet long gives you somewhere quieter to land, so the house works whether you are hosting fifteen people or hiding from all of them. Upstairs, four bedrooms surround a generous loft that makes a perfect home office, playroom or second lounge, overlooking the foyer below. The primary suite is a true retreat at nearly twenty feet wide, with a walk-in closet, double vanity, and a separate soaking tub and glass shower. And the laundry is on the second floor, right where the clothes already are, which is the kind of detail you appreciate every single week. The finished basement is where this floor plan pulls ahead of everything else in its price range. A fifth bedroom with a full-size egress window, a full bath with a walk-in glass shower, and an enormous recreation room combine into a genuine in-law or guest suite. Visiting family, a returning college student, a live-in parent, or simply the movie room you have always wanted: it is a separate living space, not a finished corner. Outside is not an afterthought either. A covered front porch made for evenings, a covered composite deck off the kitchen, and an expansive stamped concrete patio that curves out into a fully fenced backyard with black ornamental fencing, mature landscaping and raised garden beds. Add the three-car garage and the extended concrete driveway, and there is finally room for the vehicles, the tools and the toys. Now the part that sets it apart. The 10.44 kW solar system is OWNED, not leased, and the sellers are paying it off in full at closing, so there is no lease to assume, no payment to take over, and no lender hurdle. The lower utility bills simply come with the house. Radon was tested and professionally mitigated, and that system carries a warranty that transfers to you. Add high efficiency natural gas heat, brand new carpet on upper level, a smart lock and security system, and this is a home where the work is already done. Indian Springs is a quiet, sidewalk-lined neighborhood in Shiloh Village District 85 feeding O'Fallon High, with an easy run to Scott AFB, Interstate 64 and everything Shiloh and O'Fallon have to offer. HOA is just $250 a year. Vacant and ready for a quick close. Schedule your private tour today, because homes like this one do not sit.
