The oversized garage is fully drywalled and painted, with an optional plan available for a detached third bay . Inside, you’ll find exceptional attention to detail at every turn. Solid three quarter inch oak hardwood floors span the main level and second-floor hallway, complemented by extensive custom millwork and an open wood staircase with rich wood treads connecting all levels. A spacious mudroom with built-in lockers and abundant cabinetry provides everyday convenience right off the garage. The heart of the home is a stunning custom kitchen designed for both function and style. It features an oversized island, quartz countertops, a custom wood hood, under-cabinet lighting, stainless steel appliances, a Sharp under-counter microwave, and a large walk-in pantry with custom shelving. The open floor plan flows seamlessly into a dramatic two-story great room, complete with built-in cabinetry and bookshelves flanking a gas fireplace. The main-floor primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with a spa-like bath, including a spacious glass-enclosed shower, adult-height dual vanities with ample storage, and a large walk-in closet outfitted with custom shelving and pull-out drawers. Upstairs, you’ll find generously sized bedrooms, all with walk-in closets. A Jack-and-Jill bath serves two bedrooms, while a fourth bedroom enjoys its own private bath. An additional second-floor laundry room adds convenience for busy households. The finished lower level expands your living space with tall ceilings, durable LVP flooring, a fifth bedroom with a full bath, a bar area, and a versatile flex room—ideal for a home gym, office, craft space, or even a wine cellar. Step outside to a covered rear porch overlooking a large, level backyard, perfectly suited for a future pool or outdoor entertaining. This home combines timeless design, modern amenities, and an unbeatable location, an exceptional opportunity in one of Kirkwood’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
