Résidence Unifamiliale À Saint Louis

Let’s address the elephant in the circle drive: this legacy estate went out at a price that matched its ambition more than the market. The seller has since had a heart-to-heart with reality, adjusted accordingly, and is very much ready to make a deal.

As for the pool question everyone keeps asking — yes, this one-acre lot has the room. What it also has is a utility pole in a few likely spots, so if your dream layout needs it moved, that’s a conversation with Ameren (and their invoice) before it’s a conversation with your pool contractor. Consider it a small negotiation with the power company standing between you and backyard bliss — not a dealbreaker, just a line item.

Everything else here still speaks for itself: 4,800+ finished square feet of full-brick, dual-primary-suite, three-fireplaces, private-lake-community architecture that doesn’t apologize for taking its time to find the right buyer.

The gourmet kitchen — butler’s arch, designer tile, quartz, bespoke cabinetry — remains the showstopper it always was. The main-floor primary suite still has its private sitting area and full-wall closet; upstairs, the second primary still gets its own balcony and dressing room, flanked by two more bedrooms with balconies of their own. The finished lower level’s wet bar and rec room are unchanged and unbothered.

Full-home electrical rewire: done. Circle drive, half-moon patio, garden walkway: still stately. Private lake access: still yours.

This home didn’t get less impressive while it waited. It just got a more honest price tag and a buyer who knows a good pool spot when they see one.
