This home in the heart of St. Louis is a testament to the seamless integration of historic charm and modern luxury.

Originally constructed in 1890 as a Romanesque-style catalog home, it has undergone thoughtful updates that carefully cater to modern living needs while preserving its rich architectural heritage.

Exterior Grandeur

Nestled on a sprawling 0.48 acres, the exterior of the mansion boasts a highly detailed facade of Indiana limestone, exemplifying the exquisite craftsmanship characteristic of the Romanesque style.

Direct access to the attached three-car garage adds a layer of convenience, seamlessly merging the architectural beauty of the Victorian era with the practical demands of today’s lifestyle.

The rear porch and enclosed gazebo overlook a charming garden adorned with mature trees and plantings, creating a tranquil outdoor space.

Interior Splendor

Inside, a cozy sitting area with a fireplace creates an inviting atmosphere and elegantly sets the stage for the luxurious and sophisticated spaces that lie beyond.

The interior also features beautifully inlaid hardwood floors, oak paneling, original carved mantels, ornate plasterwork ceilings, and crown molding, enhancing the overall charm and elegance of the home.

Spaces such as the entryway, parlor, and dining room reflect the home’s historical essence, with their exquisitely preserved woodwork delicately recounting stories from the past.

The kitchen has been updated with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, and premier appliances, seamlessly blending the old with the new.

Spacious rooms with large windows usher in allow natural light to flood the space, creating an atmosphere of timeless elegance.

On the second level, the master suite unfolds into a luxurious area featuring a cozy sitting room, a spacious bedroom complete with an adjoining bathroom, and a large dressing area enhanced by bespoke cabinetry.

Additionally, the same level houses more bedrooms and bathrooms, each thoughtfully designed to complement the overall luxurious ambiance of the space.

The third floor features a sprawling 33×19-foot family room, offering a generous area for both relaxation and entertainment.

The recent comprehensive remodel and thoughtful additions ensure that the essence of the 1890s Romanesque style remains intact, paying homage to the craftsmanship of a bygone era.
