Designed by renowned architect Eugene Mackey Jr., this Ladue masterpiece gracefully sites itself on an gently sloping acre with mature sugar maple, oak, dogwood and pine trees. Originally constructed in 1948, it is a rare mid-century modern home that includes a walk-out basement. It integrates large exterior and interior limestone walls, wood siding, custom operable windows, copper gutters and downspouts. Mackey seamlessly expanded the home in the 1960's with a pool, breakfast room, dining terrace, foyer and large carport with a striking cantilevered roof. Recently renovated and turned into a contemporary showplace while respecting Mackey's original intentions, the home includes abundant floor to ceiling windows that let the light shine in throughout the day. Large open Living Room with wood floors, vaulted ceiling with clerestory windows, motorized shades, wood-burning fireplace with granite surround designed by locally-renowned sculptor Hillis Arnold, and an expanse of windows that look over a private lot. Uniquely differentiated gardens and outdoor rooms complement the house. Gourmet kitchen with custom cabinets, basalt tile backsplash and walls, Silestone counters, high-end appliances, a contemporary plate-glass guardrail with stairs leading to the basement, and a sun-soaked breakfast room with heated concrete floors and floor to ceiling windows. Each of the 3 bedrooms has their own private bathroom and built in cabinetry and shelves. The large master bath is amazing with a designer bathtub, floor to ceiling tiled walls, heated tile floor and multiple setting rain shower. High-end, contemporary light fixtures throughout. Hardwood and heated concrete floors on the main level, along with exposed limestone walls and a beautiful curved plaster wall. Spacious Lower Level with plenty of light, a full laundry room, ample storage spaces, fireplace, full bath and walk-out that leads to a private pool with fenced surround. The heating and cooling system was comprehensively renovated in 2020 to an environmentally friendly and economically efficient geo-thermal system. Nothing like this treasure in St. Louis! Everything is custom!
