Built in 2009, this 4-bedroom, 5-bathroom custom home with a finished lower level and a 3-car garage is a rare find! It combines thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and plenty of room to grow, along with the added benefit of energy-conscious construction. The spacious main-level luxury primary suite features hardwood floors, a walk-in closet, dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. The kitchen is built for both daily living and entertaining, featuring custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a professional-style gas range with stainless steel hood, and a center island with seating. It opens to a dramatic vaulted living room with a fireplace and arched windows that flood the space with natural light and connect seamlessly to the rear deck. You'll also find a formal dining room, a convenient power room, and a functional mudroom on this level. Upstairs, you'll find two bedrooms connected with an adjoining bathroom. There is another spacious bedroom and another full bathroom, along with the second-floor laundry, which adds convenience. The finished lower level provides flexible living space with 14-foot ceilings, a large recreation area, a full bath, a versatile bonus room ideal for a home office, fitness space, or guest room, and plenty of storage. Enjoy a fully fenced yard, complete with an electronic gate to the expansive concrete driveway and detached three-car garage. The natural gas generator adds peace of mind. Built with insulated concrete forms, the home was designed for durability, comfort, and efficiency. ICF construction provides exceptional insulation, helping maintain consistent indoor temperatures year-round while reducing energy costs and minimizing outside noise. You'll also find an electric car charger and solar panels, which further enhance efficiency, delivering meaningful savings on utility bills and a reduced environmental footprint. Located right across the street from a park and just minutes from Forest Park, the Central West End, major medical campuses, and highway access, this modern gem is the opportunity you've been waiting for. It also qualifies for Washington University & BJC's Live Near Your Work program. Come and see for yourself!
