Mediterranean, Ranch

Love to ENTERTAIN? Need room for a BLENDED or MULTI-GENERATIONAL household? Or maybe you just want a house where everyone has room to spread out? This one does ALL of that. This all-brick CUSTOM-BUILT ranch in the Affton School District has almost 4,000 SF of finished living space on two levels — and both floors were made for living, gathering and entertaining. The 2,397 SF main level has a terrific flow, with a cathedral great room and WOODBURNING fireplace at the center of the home set on stunning NATURAL RED OAK FLOORING and a newer DESIGNER kitchen made for people who actually cook, gather and linger. A large island with a second sink and LUXURY HEATED TILE FLOORS — because few things feel better on a cold St. Louis morning than warm floors underfoot while the coffee brews. The kitchen flows easily into the dining and great room, so whoever is cooking stays right in the middle of everything. From the kitchen or great room, step into the 38 x 10' SCREENED-IN DECK stretching across much of the back of the house — an enormous outdoor room overlooking mature shade trees, perennial gardens and a raised vegetable and herb garden. Morning coffee, dinner outside, Cardinals game on TV, or an evening with friends without donating yourself to the mosquitoes. The SPLIT-BEDROOMS design puts the primary suite at one end and two additional bedrooms and bath at the other, while first-floor laundry makes one-level living easy. But the party doesn't have to stay upstairs. The LOWER LEVEL offers the possibility of a very separate living space under the same roof.. The approximately 1,500 SF finished walkout lower level has a personality of its own — a second WOODBURNING fireplace, large rec/living area, three additional finished rooms (hobby, office, exercise each with a closet), beautiful full bath and a wet bar equipped with a beverage/wine chiller, kegerator, mini-refrigerator, dishwasher, microwave shelf and sink. A little tweaking could turn it into a full-size kitchen. A full-size refrigerator is located in the adjacent storage room and can stay with the house. And those double FRENCH DOORS don't just give you a walkout. Throw them open and the lower level spills right onto the paver patio and firepit area, then out into nearly 1/2 acre of level lawn and gardens. Indoor party, outdoor party — the spaces simply flow together. And the big-ticket improvements? All of it done in 2024-2026: Roof, oversize gutters, top-of-the-line Andersen Woodwright Double Hung windows, doors, skylights, high-efficiency HVAC, and water heater. Most two-car garages give you roughly 400 SF. This one is 24' x 28' — a whopping 672 SF — with room for two vehicles AND the stuff that usually competes with them for space. Plus, there’s an additional concrete pad for an RV or trailer. One-level living. Two-level entertaining. Exceptional outdoor spaces. And a floor plan flexible enough to live very differently depending on who calls it home. Showings begin Thursday September 3. DO NOT DELAY. THIS IS A VERY SPECIAL ONE-OF-A-KIND HOME!!!!!!!
