Value at a Low HOA fee – Unheard of in the St. Louis area! Does a condominium sound like a low stress option until you think about the lack of privacy and the HIGH HOA fees? This home offers the privacy of a single-family home with the benefits of a condominium. There is a low monthly fee of $150 that includes most insurance, all lawn care (mowing, seeding, fertilizer, weed preventer, aerating, weed eating and grass blowing). They do leaf clean-up, trim bushes and mulch the front yard. Services include pet and environmentally friendly ice melt when there is ice and will shovel all front pathways and driveway when it snows above an inch. For the $475 HOA annual fee all residents have access to the swimming pool, basketball courts, playgrounds, lake, common ground and hiking trails. The HOA does even more, and all is described in the Indentures. The house has nine-foot ceilings and an open-concept on the main floor with a half bath. There are three nice size bedrooms upstairs including a master bedroom suite and a full hall bath to service the other bedrooms. All rooms have walk-in closets with two in the master bedroom. The laundry room is also located upstairs where most of the laundry resides. Yes, no more carrying laundry baskets up and down the stairs. The basement is finished with a nice family area, a full bathroom (shower no tub) and a storage area with shelving. This home also has a nice size patio in the backyard where you can enjoy the multi-season perennial/pollinator garden. Additional storage space can be found in the two-car garage including shelving and cabinets that will stay for the new owner. The current owner has lived in the home since 2015 and has had air-conditioner, furnace and Humidifier (humidifier added by current homeowner) serviced annually. Additionally, there are other services/warranties available as part of this sale including but not limited to a plumbing plan. Service records, warranties and purchase records (new dishwasher, garage door openers, humidifier, hot water heater bladder, garbage disposal, sump pump, radon mitigator, street creep expansion joint - warranty, etc.) are available for viewing and originals will be provided to buyer at closing. The view from the front of the home is the basketball courts and part of the lake until winter when the lake is in full view. Like the front-yard, the backyard is very private backing up to common ground and trees. How often is that type of property available at an affordable HOA rate? These homes don’t come up for sale too often, act fast! The home was put on the market in May and taken off until now due to finding a place to move.
