Set on a breathtaking 2.7-acre lot in Glen Carbon, this Mid-Century Modern ranch offers a rare blend of architectural charm and natural beauty. The backyard feels like a private botanical garden, with exotic trees, wildflower gardens, raised beds, lush Zoysia grass, and new retaining walls creating a serene retreat. The MCT Nature Trail runs just beyond the street, connecting the new homeowners to miles of scenic paths.
Inside, warm Brazilian Teak hardwood in the dining room and Stranded Bamboo in the foyer and bedrooms set the tone for a home that is both stylish and inviting. The sunroom, not included in the livable square footage, adds 348 sq. ft. of light-filled space and features an imported Swedish wood-burning stove—perfect for cozy evenings or morning coffee with a view. Bathrooms have been beautifully updated, including a fully remodeled hallway bath with a custom-tile shower and a lower-level bath with floor-to-ceiling tile for a spa-like atmosphere. A charming mudroom welcomes guests back inside from the outdoors.
Thoughtful updates provide peace of mind, including a new roof and gutters with leaf guards (2024), efficient HVAC and water heater (2017), windows by Anderson (2018), garage doors (2021), glass block windows (2024), basement stairs (2023), and fresh interior paint (2025). The rear-facing tuck-under garage opens to a two-car carport, offering four covered spaces, and includes an 18-ft workbench, shop heater, cooling ductwork, and new electric. The asphalt driveway with a 2-car parking pad and recently repaved street add convenience. A 31x21 ft barn with new electric, concrete floor, vintage lighting, and fresh paint completes this one-of-a-kind property.
This home is a rare opportunity to enjoy timeless design, modern updates, and a setting that feels like a private sanctuary.
