About This Home

What a truly remarkable home that was just completed in Kirkwood. It's the latest collaboration between Studio G Design and LR Custom Homes. This equates to many unique and hidden features as they treat every home they work on like a true custom home with the designer serving as the "client." This property has over 6000 square feet of living space including an incredible light filled 3rd floor with commanding views of downtown Kirkwood. The interior trim package is as stunning as the diamonds dripping off the celebrities at the Met Gala. Floor to ceiling moldings highlight 10' ceiings throughout the main level. Box beam, wood, and bead board ceilings will have you glancing up at every turn. The color palette is so "on trend" that it is just now debuting in many national design magazines. Gentle but rich Farrow & Ball colors anchor this entire home. But the belle of the ball is the truly amazing kitchen. It was a group collaboration with a certified kitchen designer and custom cabinet maker to create this very modern yet truly classic design. The sheer size of the island made it difficult to find a single slab so they designed two full length walnut cutting boards on each end and then highlighted sections of cabinetry with matching walnut drawers (often to mask hidden appliances). There are 6 refrigerator units (some full, some drawers, etc) a stunning black and brass English AGA range with a wok burner and 3 ovens, and custom Rejuvenation hardware designed to match the lighting. You'll be delighted by what appears as a 2nd set of refrigerator cabinet doors that actually hide/mask an entire secondary dry kitchen & mud room so you can close it off entirely when entertaining! But it's the dining room that will take your breath away with its floor to ceiling moldings that frame an ethereal mural that appears to wrap its arms around the entire room like a soft hug. Envision morning coffee here surrounded by a soft natural light flooding the room on three sides. Or maybe you'd rather watch the morning news on the adjoining screened porch with it's cozy 2nd fireplace? Stunning murals are featured not only in the dining room but also the primary suite, powder room, study and lower level and more subtle wallcoverings were selected in other areas in keeping with the overall design. On the second level you'll discover a truly luxurious primary suite with an incredible walk-in closet and a pitch perfect bathroom that features custom bamboo style cabinetry highlighted by brass hardware and polished nickel fixtures. The 2nd floor also includes a laundry room that is a true hidden treasure in the home. Nearby are two more charming bedroom suites that share a classic bath boasting Chinoiserie wallcoverings, soft sage hues, whimsical mirrors, and custom lighting. A 3rd floor loft showcases a bunk room, a large family room, and a 5th bedroom and private bath suite but the fun doesn't end there! The lower level is completely finished including a bed/bath suite, as well as a workout room with rubber flooring and tons of natural lighting. A large recreation room features a whimsical mural and plenty of room for game tables and a theatre room as well as the convenience of a large wet bar for hosting parties. Only the highest quality natural stone was selected for counters throughout the home including stunning marble in the kitchen and baths, solid quartzite and specialty granite. Luxury flooring was all hand selected including solid 5" hardwoods, classic tile, designer carpeting, and a unique herringbone LVT in the lower level. The exterior of the property features a custom colored fiber-cement siding with a southern style wrap-around porch complete with a 'haint blue' ceiling and copper lanterns. There's also an oversized 3 car garage with 12' ceilings (can we say golf simulator), a side circle drive, extensive landscaping, black aluminum fencing and a irrigation system. Viewings are by private appointment only.
