La description
This expansive 3-story Craftsman home beautifully merges timeless architectural charm with modern amenities. A welcoming front porch, accented by a distinctive wooden front door, sets the tone as you step inside. The open dining room, adorned with custom shiplap paneling, creates a warm and inviting space for gatherings. Off the main entry, a versatile room serves as either a home office or an additional bedroom, complete with an adjoining full bath for convenience. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen is a showstopper. Featuring crisp white ceiling-height cabinetry, a spacious walk-in pantry, and a stunning quartz waterfall countertop island, it's a perfect blend of style and function. The butler’s pantry, embellished with authentic cindered olive zellige tiles from Morocco, adds an artisanal flair. With 13-foot beamed ceilings, the kitchen and family room feel airy and expansive, flowing seamlessly onto a covered back porch designed for outdoor entertainment. Beyond the porch, a ground-level patio and a beautifully landscaped, fenced backyard create a serene escape. À l'étage, the luxurious master suite offers a peaceful retreat. The tray ceiling adds elegance, while the spa-like bathroom and custom walk-in closet provide ultimate comfort. Three additional bedrooms ensure ample space for family or guests, and a full-size laundry room, equipped with Shaker-style cabinetry, enhances everyday living. The newly completed terrace level, finished in 2024, is designed for entertainment. A cozy living room, powder room, wet bar with a beverage fridge, and a gym room or optional sixth bedroom provide flexibility. This level offers direct access to the backyard and a drive-under 2-car garage, along with a private entrance for guests. Ideally located near Bessie Branham Park and Recreation Center, with a soon-to-be-finished playground, this home is a quick 5-minute walk from the charming shops of downtown Kirkwood, including Evergreen Butcher + Baker, the library, et plus.
