This is the one buyers wait for: a fully updated, brick home in the Lambert High School District, with a true poolside resort-style walk out backyard, finished terrace level, flexible bedroom layout, and major systems already handled. Set on a cul-de-sac in the Hillside Estates community, this home makes a strong first impression with timeless brick curb appeal, a 3-car garage, and the kind of backyard that instantly separates it from the competition. The backyard is the undeniable showstopper - a rare walkout setting with pool, spa, covered and uncovered entertaining spaces, outdoor fireplace, grill, indoor/outdoor Sonos system, landscape lighting, fully fenced yard, and additional space extending behind the home. It feels private, polished, and designed to be enjoyed every day, not just admired from the window. Inside, the home is equally impressive with plantation shutters throughout, updated flooring, generous living areas, and incredible natural light. Floor-to-ceiling windows across the back of the main living space frame direct views of the pool, creating a bright, open feel from the moment you walk in. The main level includes a separate office, formal dining room, spacious living room with double-sided fireplace shared with the keeping room, and an updated kitchen that opens easily to the main living spaces. The kitchen, updated in 2021, features quartz countertops, designer backsplash, Wolf appliances, Kohler fixtures, large farmhouse sink, and water filtration system. The main level also offers a bedroom with full bath, perfect for guests or multigenerational living. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite includes an upgraded bath and oversized closet, plus an additional ensuite bedroom and two secondary bedrooms connected by a Jack-and-Jill bath. The finished terrace level, completed in 2021, adds even more flexibility with a bedroom, full bath, media/living space, workout area, and unfinished space for storage. With 2024 HVAC, newer roof, updated kitchen and baths, finished terrace level, updated flooring, lighting, plantation shutters, pool/spa enhancements, outdoor living upgrades, landscaping, indoor/outdoor Sonos, and landscape lighting, this home delivers the lifestyle, confidence, and value buyers want - in a great community served by top-rated Lambert High School, Riverwatch Middle, and Sharon Elementary.
