Ladue MO Home for Sale

**OPEN HOUSE 1-3 SUNDAY 7/12 ** Home customized by Jack Barlow to create a haven from the buzz beyond its walls. A rugged wooden door opens to a bricked breezeway walled in windows to overlook a treed venue. Slate flooring connects the light-filled living spaces. An enormous Living Room with vaulted ceiling seems to stretch into the outdoor living space beyond. A circular kitchen keeps everything with cooks easy reach and suggests relaxed dining while observing woodland activity beyond tall windows. The den offers respite at day's end. The Master Bedroom has two closets shielded by curtained French doors; a third set of French doors leads to a private deck. Don't miss the Master Bathroom boasting a steam shower in which you can really stretch out. The liberal use of paned French doors, darkened millwork against persimmon, and the repurposing of a handsomely carved chest provide added dramatic flair to a home that entertains masses wonderfully, yet offers calm privacy when preferred.

Frontenac MO Home for Sale

Situated in a wonderful, quiet lane beneath mature trees in the esteemed Ladue School District, this all brick ranch sits on over an acre backed by wooded areas. Watch nearby wildlife from the shade of a magnolia tree that reaches over the upper tier of a broad deck, or dine al fresco on the private brick patio adjoining it. You'll enjoy the autumn's colors from the bay window of the en suite Master Bedroom. Three additional bedrooms share 2 full baths and one half bath. You may wish to casually entertain in Family Room by the fire, or more formally in a spacious Living Room and Dining Room accented by large floor to ceiling windows. The Kitchen nods to a sunny Breakfast Room on one side and a main floor Laundry Room on the other. The partially finished walk-out lower level boasts a second fireplace in its Recreation Room. And just wait until you see the very deep unfinished area of the lower level which seems to never end. No one can say there is a shortage of storage in this home!
