Three bedrooms and two full baths on the main floor, a third full bath in the lower level, and 2,740 square feet of finished living space in Lindbergh Schools -- this 1958 Sunset Hills ranch delivers what the rest of this price range cannot. The rear addition is the showpiece: vaulted ceilings, skylights, and walls of natural light opening onto a level, fenced back yard built for entertaining, with a built-in gas BBQ on the patio.

The open kitchen features a built-in gas grill and downdraft cooktop, ceramic tile, and a breakfast bar that keeps the cook in the conversation, with a gas range, dishwasher and disposal all approximately three years old. Authentic hardwood runs through most of the main level, and a floor-to-ceiling brick gas fireplace anchors the living room.

The big-ticket systems are newer than the house: roof approximately four years old, furnace approximately two, 200 amp electric service. Main-floor laundry -- washer and dryer stay -- plus hookups downstairs and a 2-car attached garage. The lower level is mostly finished and adds a rec room, guest space, or home office. Crestwood Elementary, Truman Middle, Lindbergh High. Minutes to I-270, I-44, Grant's Trail, and Watson Road. See it this weekend.
