Step into a truly one-of-a-kind residence where over a century of history meets a refined European sensibility and an artist's eye for preservation. Thoughtfully renovated by long-time stewards, this home balances its original character with modern, museum-like quality that create a gallery backdrop for everyday living. Natural light pours in through skylights above the staircase, evoking the feel of an abstract installation, while the main level offers a generous living and dining space that flows effortlessly into a Bulthaup custom designed eat-in kitchen. The rear of the home opens dramatically with 10-foot glass doors, creating seamless indoor-outdoor connectivity and inviting the outside in. Upstairs, the second floor features a serene bedroom and office, both overlooking the lake at Benton Park. Another bedroom with huge walk-in closet offers a striking glass-encased, east-facing studio"”perfect for creative pursuits. The third-floor primary retreat feels like a private sanctuary among the treetops, infused with relaxed bohemian charm and a 3rd view of the lake at Benton Park. There is another den area + large storage room up here. The rear garden is a lush, Missouri Botanical Garden-inspired oasis"”an immersive, ever-changing landscape that completes the home's unique spirit. Every inch has been carefully considered and lovingly maintained, resulting in a property that transcends the ordinary. It's rare to encounter a space with such presence"”an intangible that must be felt to be fully understood. See list of updates in supplements.
