Property Description

A mid-century modern lover’s dream in coveted Barrett Brae, a designated Historic District by the Kirkwood Landmarks Commission. Drawing inspiration from Frank Lloyd Wright’s Usonian principles, this thoughtfully designed 1956 home was built with form, function, and connection to nature at its core — and it has been beautifully enhanced by owners who truly understand and respect the architecture. Inside, you’ll find a classic open floor plan with vaulted ceilings throughout, exposed brick walls, clerestory windows, and walls of glass that blur the line between indoors and out. A newer sliding door opens to one of two fabulous patios, perfect for entertaining or quiet mornings surrounded by nature. The warm, inviting living space is anchored by a cozy corner fireplace, now upgraded with a new gas insert, creating the perfect spot to gather year-round. The recently remodeled kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances (refrigerator stays), and fresh updates including a new microwave and lighting, while remaining true to the home’s clean mid-century lines. Main-floor laundry doubles as a butler’s pantry with solid-surface counters — a smart, functional touch that fits the home’s design-forward ethos. Both bathrooms have recenlty been renovated. Additional improvements include engineered wood flooring, solid core doors, updated windows and skylight, newly added recessed lights, custom St. Louis Closets systems, fresh paint, and restored cedar board siding. Major systems have also been addressed, including a 30-year EPDM roof (2013), HVAC, electric panels, water heater, humidifier, and smart thermostat. Outside - this home truly shines! Extensive exterior improvements include a new driveway that extends through the carport to a stunning exposed aggregate concrete parking pad accommodating two cars — an ideal setup for guests or a future basketball hoop. A new front walkway, stylish modern mailbox, and a chic storage shed add both function and flair. The landscaping has been completely reimagined into a Japanese-inspired garden oasis, featuring tumbled granite boulders and a curated collection of trees, shrubs, and perennials that provide year-round beauty, fragrance, and future shade. Missouri redbuds have been strategically planted to naturally canopy the parking area in the coming years, while patios are surrounded by thoughtfully selected plantings that make outdoor living feel serene and intentional. (the sellers have provided a detailed list of plants and trees) Pride of ownership and a true understanding of design are evident at every turn — from the architectural details to the carefully cultivated landscape. This is a rare opportunity to own a lovingly updated, architecturally significant home that lives beautifully today while honoring its mid-century roots. Kirkwood schools. Barrett Brae. Timeless design. This one is special.
