The Bluebird House is a one-of-a-kind, vintage bungalow on one of the quietest streets in the heart of Kirkwood. Walk out the front door and find yourself steps away from they many neighborhood shops, restaurants and parks. The house has a remarkably open floorplan seldom found in houses of the period. The kitchen is equipped with stone counters and stainless steel appliances, including beverage cooler, and opens to the dining area with of sight through to the living room and front porch. Take note of the stained glass in the front of the home for which the Bluebird house was named. The home has four bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a primary suite and Jack and Jill layout. The home also has amazing outside spaces in the traditional bungalow sized front porch and a back deck overlooking the oversized back yard with plenty of room for a swimming pool and spa/garden area. Four bedrooms three baths not sufficient? The attic and architecture of this home make expanding up easily doable!
