Step into a gorgeous piece of Kirkwood history, built in 1860. If only this 'ole gal could talk. A true piece of beauty with countless original features yet boasting todays modern amenities. Enter across the front porch into the foyer that is flanked by the beautiful library with hand blown windows and original pocket door and formal dining and sitting room. The large eat-in kitchen with Cambria counters and professional series appliances, plus hearth room with gas burning fireplace offer a fabulous gathering area. Just off of the kitchen is a large covered deck plus stamped concrete patio and outdoor kitchen. The second floor is home to a large bedroom suite with office space, huge bath and two walk-in closets, three additional large bedrooms, a hall bath and laundry center. The walk-out lower level features a fifth bedroom and full bath, plus a nice gathering area with wet bar, draft handles, wine frig, and media center. In addition there is an oversized one car attached garage, a two car detached garage, and large level fenced yard. All of this charm and character a moments walk from downtown Kirkwood and almost directly across from Kirkwood park , the pool, skating rink, tennis courts and walking paths. Kirkwood code compliant for occupancy. This is one that should not be missed.
