Most ranch homes this size give you one living area. This one gives you two, on separate levels, each with its own way in and out.

The main level runs 864 square feet. The living room opens to a dining area and a kitchen that has been updated well past what the age of the home would suggest — light-painted cabinetry, stone-look countertops, a full subway tile backsplash, and a window over the sink looking into the back tree line. Three bedrooms and a full bath sit down the hall, all with hardwood floors, and the laundry is on this level rather than downstairs. The interior was freshly painted before the home came to market.

The walk-out lower level adds another 864 finished square feet and functions on its own. There is a large open recreation room, a second full bath, a bedroom, and a kitchenette with its own cabinetry, counter, tile backsplash, and full-size refrigerator. French doors open directly onto the back patio, so the lower level never requires the main-floor stairs. That separation is the defining feature of this property — square footage is easy to find at $205,000 on this side of Kansas City; a second, self-contained living area with its own door is not.

The backyard is the other surprise. It runs deep and level behind the house, fully chain-link fenced, ending at a mature stand of trees that screens the rear line entirely. A concrete patio sits off the French doors. The attached garage is a genuine full-size-truck garage — a current F-150 parks inside with room left for tools.

Built in 1960, the home has natural gas heat, central electric air, and city water and sewer. It sits just off Eastwood Trafficway with I-435 access at Exit 65. Despite the Kansas City mailing address, it is served by the Raytown C-2 School District — Eastwood Hills Elementary, Raytown Middle, Raytown High — and buyers should confirm current attendance boundaries with the district. There is no HOA. Financing is open to cash, conventional, FHA, and VA loans, which at this price point means a VA-qualified buyer can purchase with no money down.
