This historic masterpiece has been meticulously restored and reimagined with uncompromising luxury at every turn. Behind the fully restored French inspired facade, complete with iconic mansard rooflines, hand milled exterior accent flourishes, and timeless gas lanterns, lies over 7,700 square feet of exquisitely finished living space designed to rival the finest luxury homes in the country. Meticulously and thoughtfully renovated over several years, this architectural showpiece seamlessly blends irreplaceable historic character with cutting edge modern living. Original hardwood floors, soaring 12 foot ceilings, elegant recessed lighting, and richly appointed living spaces create an atmosphere of sophistication and warmth throughout. The chef’s kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring professional grade JennAir appliances, Brazilian marble countertops, 48 range with double ovens, custom finishes, and exceptional entertaining space. Although it lives beautifully as one grand single family residence, the home is organized into three highly functional sections, creating exceptional flexibility. Each section includes its own kitchen, laundry, bathrooms, and private living potential ideal for extended stay guests, multi-generational living, private guest spaces, luxury short term rental use, or large scale entertaining. The primary suite is a private sanctuary, offering a spa inspired Carrara marble bathroom, smart Kohler Anthem shower system with multiple rain heads, freestanding Kohler soaking tub, expansive custom walk-in closet, and private laundry. Additional bathrooms continue with similar elevated finishes and refined designer details. Beyond its beauty, the home has been intelligently modernized for comfort, efficiency, and piece of mind. Features include four newer HVAC systems, whole home smart automation with voice command functionality, solar panels, smart electrical panel with backup battery, tankless water heater, whole-house water filtration system, and three TPO roofs replaced in 2024 with 40 year warranty. A rare grotto style sub-basement wine cellar adds another layer of distinction, while the panoramic rooftop terrace delivers breathtaking skyline views stretching across Downtown St. Louis, the Anheuser-Busch Brewery, and the Mississippi River. Whether hosting intimate gatherings or large-scale entertaining, the rooftop experience is simply unforgettable. Set on two city fenced lots, the property includes two separate two car garages, a private two car parking pad, and Level 2 EV charging station- an extraordinary amenity package rarely found in the city. Offering the scale, flexibility, and infrastructure to function as an exceptional single family estate or a potential luxury multi-family investment, this landmark home represents a blend of historic elegance, modern innovation, and enduring architectural significance in the heart of historic Soulard-a feat nearly impossible to replicate.
