Welcome to “Owls Nest,” a one-of-a-kind Mid-Century Modern retreat nestled in Kirkwood’s Sugar Creek Valley. Located steps from St. Louis’ only Frank Lloyd Wright home on sought-after Architect’s Alley, this stunning 4-bedroom, 4-bath ranch seamlessly blends iconic design with modern updates. Soaring vaulted timber ceilings and an open-concept floor plan create an inviting atmosphere, while expansive windows showcase breathtaking wooded views from nearly every room.
The spacious living room, kitchen, and primary suite all offer direct access to a massive wraparound deck, creating effortless indoor-outdoor living. Enjoy your morning coffee beneath majestic oaks and unwind each evening as custom tree uplighting transforms the property into a private sanctuary. The primary suite serves as a private retreat featuring dual vanities and serene views of the surrounding landscape.
The finished walk-out lower level expands the living space with two additional bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a spacious family room that is perfect for entertaining guests, hosting game nights, or creating a private guest suite. Step outside to the backyard patio and enjoy the tranquility of this nearly one-acre lot surrounded by mature trees and abundant wildlife.
Recent updates include a new roof and gutters (2026), appliances (2026), electrical panel (2026), HVAC (2018), and sewer lateral (2021). A two-car attached garage, one-car detached garage, and oversized driveway provide exceptional parking and storage options. Located within the highly sought-after Kirkwood School District, this extraordinary property offers the perfect blend of architectural significance, privacy, nature, and modern convenience in one of Kirkwood’s most unique and unforgettable settings.
