About This Home

Timeless 1875 Victorian just steps from Downtown Kirkwood offering over 7,000 sq ft of total living space (6,200+ above grade). This beautifully updated home blends historic elegance with modern functionality and is anchored by 5 fireplaces, soaring ceilings, and original architectural detail throughout.
A gracious wraparound covered front porch welcomes you into expansive, light-filled living spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The heart of the home is a spacious gourmet kitchen with generous prep and gathering areas, opening to inviting living spaces and a formal dining room ideal for hosting. A standout feature is the sunroom with indoor kitchen, seamlessly connecting to a large deck, patio and private, tree-lined backyard—perfect for indoor/outdoor living.
The home offers 6 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with spa bath, soaking tub, separate shower, oversized walk-in closet with private laundry, and a see-through fireplace shared between the bedroom and bath. Three additional bedrooms feature en-suite baths, a 4th & 5th bedroom and a lovely full hall bath, providing flexibility for family, guests, or office use.
The finished lower level expands living space with a family/game area and a separate exercise or craft room. Additional highlights include a 4-car garage, new main-level laundry, whole house generator, basketball court, multiple gathering spaces, and many upgrades ( see attached list)
Situated in one of Kirkwood’s most desirable locations, this home is just moments from shops, restaurants, the Kirkwood Farmer's Market, Library, and the Kirkwood Performing Arts Center, offering a rare combination of historic character, modern amenities, and walkable convenience!
