Nestled in the heart of highly sought-after Kirkwood, this beautifully maintained home offers the rare combination of character, space, and location that buyers wait for. Set on an incredible .334-acre lot — an uncommon find in the area — the property provides room to relax, entertain, garden, or simply enjoy the privacy and open feel that is so hard to come by in this established neighborhood.
From the moment you arrive, the inviting covered front porch sets the tone, offering the perfect place to enjoy quiet mornings or unwind in the evening while taking in the charm of this walkable community known for its tree-lined streets and strong property values. Inside, the home blends timeless architectural details with thoughtful updates. Historic millwork adds warmth and character throughout, while luxury vinyl plank flooring across the main level creates a clean, cohesive feel that is both stylish and practical.
The spacious layout features three generously sized bedrooms with comfortable living spaces designed for everyday living and entertaining alike. The kitchen is both functional and attractive, featuring stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, and ample storage. Natural light flows throughout the home, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere in every room.
Step outside to discover a fully fenced backyard that feels like a private retreat. Whether hosting gatherings, letting pets play freely, or enjoying a quiet evening on the additional back porch, the outdoor space offers flexibility and comfort rarely found in this location. A storage shed adds even more convenience for tools, hobbies, or seasonal items.
Beautifully maintained as it stands today, the home also offers exceptional long-term potential thanks to the oversized lot. With space rarely available in this area, there is ample opportunity for future expansion or the addition of extra living space while still preserving the generous yard and outdoor feel that make this property so special. A survey is available for added convenience and planning.
Additional highlights include ample off-street parking, a newer HVAC system and roof — both approximately six years old — and the pride of ownership that comes from a home that has been consistently cared for over time.
Located in one of St. Louis County’s most desirable communities with access to the acclaimed Kirkwood School District, this home offers the opportunity to enjoy a well-established neighborhood, larger lot size, timeless charm, and future flexibility all in one exceptional package.
