About this home

Timeless Kirkwood Treasure! Located in Kirkwood’s desirable North Taylor Historic District, this charming, impeccably, maintained home offers spacious living areas, timeless character and a wonderful location. Less than a mile’s walk to downtown Kirkwood! From the moment you step inside, you’ll appreciate the care and attention that have gone into preserving this inviting multilevel home. Warm hardwood floors and plantation shutters extend throughout the main and upper levels, complemented by crown molding and custom cabinetry that add character and charm. The front living room welcomes you into an open dining area featuring sliding glass doors that lead to a beautiful backyard patio. The updated kitchen flows seamlessly from the dining space and features custom glass-front cabinetry above the coffee bar, sliding door opening to the patio, and skylights that fill the space with natural light. A convenient half bath completes the main level. The upper level offers four bedrooms, including an expanded and updated primary suite designed for comfort and relaxation. The spacious primary bedroom features a vaulted ceiling and lovely views of the professionally landscaped backyard. The updated primary bathroom includes dual sinks, while an oversized custom closet with generous drawers provides exceptional storage. The remaining three bedrooms feature beautiful hardwood flooring, and the updated second full bathroom also offers dual sinks. Convenient upper-level laundry facilities and a large storage closet add to the home's thoughtful functionality. The lower level provides another spacious living area centered around a brick fireplace converted to gas, with custom shelving on either side. This versatile space is ideal for a family room, home office, recreation area, or additional gathering space. A convenient half bath adds to its flexibility. Unfinished basement space, additional crawlspace storage, and a second laundry hookup provide even more practical possibilities. Step outside to discover a backyard that reflects years of dedicated gardening and thoughtful landscaping on a quiet cul-de-sac. The custom-stamped and stained patio creates an inviting extension of the home's living space, perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying tranquil evenings outdoors. Beautiful landscaping, a professionally designed stone retaining wall, and a raised garden area create a picturesque setting. An herb garden planter will remain with the property, and the additional raised area offers room for more gardening or a possible fire pit. Additional highlights include an oversized, rear-entry two-car garage, custom cabinetry, multiple living areas, and beautifully maintained hardwood floors throughout the main and upper levels. With its generous space, updated primary suite and bathrooms, inviting indoor-outdoor living, and exceptional location in the heart of Kirkwood, this special home offers a wonderful combination of comfort, character, and convenience.
