About this home

Bates Some homes are beautiful. This one feels like an experience. In the heart of Kirkwood, this architecturally striking historic home was thoughtfully renovated in 2018, blending timeless character with bold, modern design in a way that feels personal, artful, and completely unforgettable. Original hardwood floors run throughout, grounding the home in warmth and history. Sunlight pours into the glass enclosed living room, where garden views create a soft, calming backdrop and the line between indoors and out starts to disappear. It is the kind of room that invites you to linger, whether that means coffee in the morning light, a quiet afternoon at home, or friends gathered for a long easy evening. The kitchen is ready for all of it. Centered around a professional Italian gas range and Kitchen Aid appliances, it feels elevated but never untouchable, and thoughtful finishes make the whole space feel beautifully considered. It is a kitchen for someone who loves good food, good design, and having people over. Then there are the moments that make this home memorable. A powder room wrapped in moody wallpaper and finished with antique sconces. A primary suite with lofted ceilings that feels calm, open, and tucked away. A spa inspired bath with dual vanities and an oversized tile shower that makes the everyday feel a little more luxurious and restorative. Two additional bedrooms continue the home's thoughtful balance of comfort and style, offering flexibility for guests, work from home needs, or simply room to spread out. Out back, the garden is pure magic. Certified by the National Wildlife Federation as an official wildlife habitat, it has been intentionally cultivated to welcome birds, pollinators, and native plant life, creating a backyard that feels less like a yard and more like a private sanctuary. The brick fountain adds one more layer of charm, movement, and quiet beauty. Then you have Kirkwood all around you. Evergreen Butcher + Baker is just steps away, with neighborhood favorites, great restaurants, and everyday conveniences close by. Bessie Branham Park, freshly renovated with a new playground, has quickly become a go to spot for neighbors, families, and dog walkers. This is a home with personality, presence, and soul. Historic, stylish, and filled with the kind of spaces that make daily life feel richer. Distinctive, elevated, and beautifully connected to the neighborhood around it.
