Single Family Residence In Ballwin

Some homes just make it easy to picture your life there. Slow mornings around the kitchen island, a house full of friends for the holidays, & evenings on the deck with the trees as your backdrop. This inviting two-story offers all of that, with beautiful gathering spaces & an exceptional walkout lower level that feels like a home of its own. A welcoming front porch opens to a gracious foyer, where hardwood floors flow throughout the main level. Plantation shutters & classic wainscoting bring warmth to the formal dining room, while a private office & separate sun-filled study give everyone a little space of their own. In the family room, a gas fireplace sets the scene for cozy evenings, with the expansive kitchen just steps away. Custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, walk-in pantry & an oversized island with seating make this a kitchen where everyone will naturally gather. The adjoining breakfast room opens to the deck for easy outdoor dinners overlooking the wooded setting, & a well-equipped main-floor laundry room keeps everyday living organized. Upstairs, a spacious loft is ready for movie nights, while French doors open to an expansive owner’s retreat with an oversized walk-in closet, dual vanities, a soaking tub & separate shower with a bench. Three additional bedrooms & a hall bath with dual sinks complete the upper level. The walkout lower level is what truly sets this home apart. Bright, beautifully finished & remarkably spacious, it offers a full second kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances & double ovens, along with a generous living area opening to the patio. A large bedroom suite features a walk-in closet & private bath with a glass-enclosed shower, while a second full bath, separate laundry & abundant storage make this level every bit as livable as the rest of the home. Whether welcoming guests for an extended stay or bringing generations together under one roof, there’s room to enjoy each other & still have your own retreat. Outside, the backyard is a true showstopper! A sprawling lawn opens to a beautiful backdrop of mature trees, offering wonderful privacy & room for everything from a game of catch to celebrations with friends. The new deck with its portico & privacy screen & the lower patio gives everyone a favorite spot to settle in, enjoy the view & stay awhile. Extensive updates, a new roof and new AC provide peace of mind. Perfectly situated on a cul-de-sac, this home is just steps from the path to coveted Oak Brook Elementary. Set in highly sought-after Arbor Valley neighborhood, with beloved Oak Brook Elementary, Top Rated Parkway schools, Castlewood State Park, popular shopping, dining, & easy highway access, this is the kind of place you move to & never want to leave.
