2394 Baxton Way Chesterfield, MO 63017

Your search for condo living that keeps a backyard is over. This brick ranch villa on Baxton Way is made for downsizers who still want room for the holidays and a patch of ground all their own.

The expansive living room is built around a wood-burning masonry fireplace and opens onto the deck. The kitchen is well kept and ready for everyday cooking, and it flows into a breakfast area. The primary bedroom is large, with coffered ceilings, and its bath was redone a few years ago with upscale finishes and handsome cabinetry. A main-floor laundry room and a guest half bath mean no stairs are needed from morning coffee to lights out.

The lower level is nicely finished, with a second bedroom, a full bath and a second masonry fireplace, and it walks out to the yard. There's still plenty of storage space left over. Out back, a fully fenced yard is ready for a vegetable garden or whatever landscaping you have in mind, which shows you can have condo living and private outdoor space at the same time. A two-car attached garage completes the package.

Woodfield is a small community of about 65 homes with a clubhouse, a fenced in-ground pool and a tennis court. The association handles the grounds and the snow. Parkway West High is just up the street, and groceries and dining at Clayton and Clarkson are a few minutes away. You're close to Hwy 141 and I-64, St. Luke's Hospital, Chesterfield Valley shopping and West County Center. Clayton, downtown St. Louis and Lambert Airport are an easy drive.
