When people first come to this property they invariably say “Wow! This is gorgeous! It’s like a park!” Or “I had no idea something like this existed out here!” The term “park-like setting” is so over-used, but it really is the first description that comes to mind when describing this very private property. It’s 6 acres of mature trees, a privately owned 3/4 acre stocked pond, lots and lots of perennials and flowering trees, berries, a garden plot, meadow, woods and trails. Something is in bloom March – October.
It’s just 10 minutes to major interstates, 20 minutes to Scott AFB and 30 minutes to the Arch and Busch stadium … but being ¾ mile off the main road, combined with nature, makes it seem much more removed and subdued. It’s also kid heaven. Great for parties, picnics, team gatherings, Easter egg hunts, bonfires. Or just enjoying the property yourself.
Inside you’ll find an open concept floor plan with hardwood floors and great views. 24’ of triple-pane Pella windows and a French door in the sunroom (family room), provide an expansive view of the beautiful 6 acre property. Kitchen has tons of storage, a pantry, high end granite, soft close drawers and pull out drawers in lower cabinets. Master bath has a heated floor and a pipeless jetted tub, the unique technology of this brand discovered by the homeowners while at a luxury resort. Sunroom has a gorgeous 5’ bar that opens for entertaining, remains discreetly behind doors when not. Remote control shades in sunroom. Charging stations in kitchen. Wood burning fireplace in living room, gas fireplace in sunroom.
Composite decking, a 20 kw generator big enough to power everything in the house (supplied by a connection to an underground propane tank), whole house surge protector to protect all your appliances and electronics, LED lighting throughout, triple pane windows and blown insulation in the 2014 addition, efficient 2- stage furnace and a/c, and a tankless water heater -- all aim for less maintenance and more energy efficiency. New roof on all structures in June 2021.
There is storage galore in this house – and not just your normal coat, linen and utility closets. From the cabinets and drawer under the 6’ window seat, to the large amount of kitchen storage, cabinet storage in the living room, a 26’ wall closet in the basement, 2 bedrooms with walk-in closets, and over 220 sf each in both the generous laundry area as well as the workroom (shelving and work bench stay!) Besides the attached 2 car garage there is also a detached 2 car garage, so room for mowers, tools, toys.
Located in the popular Triad school district, with numerous private schools nearby. Madison County taxes.
This is a beautiful house on gorgeous property, in a great location. It’s hard to capture the whole property in photos, it really needs to be seen. Please reach out with any questions or requests for additional photos.
