About 8261 Watson Rd
**YES, you can install a front yard fence here!** On a gentle hill overlooking the famous Route 66, this 1940s brick bungalow in the Webster Groves School District sits way back from the street and is MUCH larger than it looks. Come enjoy a peaceful treehouse vibe, along with nearly 2700 SQUARE FEET of finished living space! You'll love the original vintage details like hardwood floors, tiled bathroom and charming stone fireplace. Also the newer features, like vinyl windows, sleek modern kitchen, zoned HVAC, tankless water heater, detached garage, updated electric & sewer lateral, and a two-story addition that includes a family room, dining room and spacious primary suite with double walk-in closets and jet soaking tub. BONUS: there's also a finished basement with a separate entrance, full bath and rough-ins for a kitchenette! It could be a whole separate apartment! The house is in great condition but needs fresh exterior paint, new deck boards and a lower bath shower surround. Sold AS-IS, with seller doing no inspections or repairs. This GEM will definitely surprise you! Take a look!
