Description

Designed and built in the 1920s by one of St. Louis’ most celebrated architects and master craftsmen, this historic residence is truly one of Hillcrest’s crown jewels. Exuding timeless elegance and architectural distinction, the home’s finely detailed exterior and exquisite interiors rival the grandest estates of the Central West End—yet offer a more livable, intimate scale. A graceful domed entry welcomes you with original black-and-white tile flooring and luminous French doors, leading into sun-drenched spaces ideal for displaying exotic plants or enjoying morning coffee in a tranquil, solarium-like setting. The living and dining rooms boast intricate plasterwork, bespoke millwork, and an original fireplace framed by newly rediscovered art glass, all contributing to the home’s enduring sophistication. Custom hardwood floors, with rich fields and borders, define the formal living areas. The expansive living room transitions seamlessly through multiple French doors onto a spacious stone terrace, perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings outdoors. The dining room, equally grand, opens to an elevated rear terrace overlooking charming gardens. With a shared wall between the dining room and oversized kitchen, the potential exists to create a stunning open-concept gathering space tailored to modern living. Upstairs, the primary bedroom impresses with two generous walk-in closets and an adjacent thoughtfully remodeled spa bath. Two additional bedrooms, including one with an adjoining office or playroom, provide flexibility and flow to the third floor, where two more large bedrooms and a full bath await. A well-preserved two-car garage and spacious lower level offer abundant storage and the opportunity to create an impressive recreation, fitness, or wine room. Nestled in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods, this legacy property is an easy stroll to Clayton’s renowned Captain Elementary, Wydown Middle School, historic DeMun Village, Forest Park, and Washington University. Priced below market to accommodate thoughtful modernization, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of St. Louis history—a residence where refined character and potential for remodeling meet. PROPERTY TO BE SOLD AS IS.
