8401 STERLING Avenue, Raytown, MO 64138

Fully updated and move-in ready, this Raytown side-split checks a lot of boxes, including one you rarely see at this price point: nearly half an acre of land. The oversized lot stretches well behind the home, giving you room to garden, play, entertain, or just breathe. Inside, the updates are everywhere. Brand new roof and gutters (2026), fresh interior and exterior paint, and new luxury vinyl plank flooring flows through the main living areas, kitchen, and entryway. The living room makes an impression with its vaulted, beamed ceiling, floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, and a sliding glass door that opens to the back patio. The kitchen is spacious and functional, featuring solid oak cabinetry with real character, new granite countertops, updated fixtures, and plenty of room for a full dining setup. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet and a private vanity area with granite counters and its own separate shower. The finished basement is the real bonus, fully drywalled with new carpet, recessed lighting, a wood-burning stove on a brick surround, and a brand new half bath. An egress window makes it legally conforming as a fourth bedroom, and a cedar-lined closet adds serious storage. Out back, a concrete patio with a fire pit sits just off the living room, and then the yard just keeps going. Mature trees, room to expand, and privacy that's genuinely rare for this area.
