Custom built and just 8 years new, this exceptional 1.5-story home offers thoughtful design, impressive space and incredible flexibility on an extra-wide lot you rarely find in Kirkwood. With almost 3,700 square feet of finished space above ground, there is still plenty of additional space in the basement to customize and add square footage. The basement area is also roughed in for plumbing to be able to accommodate a bathroom, wet bar, or sauna. An expansive front porch with ceiling fans spans the length of the home, setting the tone for a floor plan designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The great room will impress with soaring cathedral ceilings, vented gas fireplace with stone surround that is flanked by custom built-in shelving. The 4K TV purchased in 2025 remains with the house. The open-concept main level features soaring cathedral ceiling, 2 story foyer, 9’ ceilings throughout the main floor along with vaulted ceiling in kitchen and dining room with 36" doorways. The center island is the hallmark of the space that allows for entertaining, which can flow into both the dining room area and breakfast room. It’s the perfect setup for family dinners and hosting intimate or large gatherings. On the first floor, the kitchen also provides thoughtful design for the chef in your household. Custom 42” cabinets with crown trim, tile backsplash, granite counters, b’fast bar island comfortably seats 5, matte slate finish appliances (GE French door refrigerator included with home, new 2026), new GE convection oven (never been used), walk-in pantry & breakfast room. A half bath and massive laundry room with built-in storage complete this space.

The 3-car garage and driveway off the back of the house also adds another area for entertaining and enjoying a fire pit evening. The garage is also a perfect outdoor hangout with its finished walls, double ceiling fans and plenty of room for a TV. You’ll appreciate the spacious first-floor primary suite with large walk-in closet & custom shelving. The master bath includes a custom built shower with floor to ceiling tile work.
