    What's special

    Updated half bathWall-to-wall built-in bookshelvesHistoric millworkNewer patioPremium wood fencingMature foliage and shadeExposed beams
    Steeped in Kirkwood history and beautifully updated for modern living, this 2-story home was once the residence of Judge Peter C. Bopp — Kirkwood builder, St. Louis County Judge, and civic leader — and today offers a timeless 1890s aesthetic with sophisticated, thoughtful updates throughout. Set on a level, corner lot on a third of an acre with mature foliage and shade, the home welcomes you with a stone pathway to a covered front porch and an elegant new front door. Inside, 7 Velux skylights fill the entire home with natural light, complementing 10' ceilings, historic millwork, exposed beams, a bay window, and gleaming blonde hardwood floors throughout. The living room features a marble TV wall with custom Amish-built cabinetry, while crown molding and wall-to-wall built-in bookshelves add further charm. The eat-in kitchen showcases Aurora stone countertops and 42" custom cabinets, flowing seamlessly into a separate dining room with wainscoting, wood floors, and a chandelier, and on into the living room and sunroom. The sunroom's ceramic tile floor, vaulted wood ceiling, dual decks, and garage access make it a favorite spot to relax. A main-floor laundry and updated half bath complete the first level, along with a bonus room above the garage — perfect for a man-cave or kids' play space. A dramatic wood staircase leads upstairs to a huge primary suite with ample closet space, wood floors, and a renovated full bath featuring double sinks and a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and an updated full bath complete the upper level, while a partial walk-up lower level offers flexible storage or workout space. Outside, enjoy a fabulous, private, fully fenced backyard with a newer patio, stone fire pit, and premium wood fencing. A 2024 architectural roof replacement included the installation of new Velux skylights throughout, plus newer windows with a transferable warranty and Hunter Douglas blinds throughout the main level and upstairs landing. Walk to Downtown Kirkwood, the elementary school, and Kirkwood Park from this beloved corner-lot home. Write your next chapter within the walls of this beautifully preserved home. Kirkwood occupancy inspection has passed.
