Single Family Residence in Kirkwood, MO

A rare opportunity to own the iconic House of Suites designed home—featured on the cover of Home Magazine, March 1986—where this modern cottage blends architectural significance with elevated everyday living. The current owner has curated this home with exceptional care, sparing no expense in both structural and aesthetic enhancements. Recent improvements include new Hardie board siding, new windows, dual high-efficiency HVAC systems, comprehensive electrical upgrades including wiring and panel, and fully modernized plumbing including new water heater—ensuring the home’s integrity matches its design pedigree. Inside, the architecture unfolds with intention. Vaulted and transverse-vaulted ceilings create dimension and flow, while transom windows invite soft, natural light throughout. A vaulted glass conservatory creates a stunning, light-filled retreat—offering a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. Glass-enclosed stairs lead to a lofted overlook, enhancing the home’s sense of light, space, and connection. These architectural elements work in harmony to create a home that feels both expansive and intimate. The kitchen has been thoughtfully upgraded with classic shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops, and premium KitchenAid appliances—offering a perfect balance of durability, function, and timeless appeal. Distinctive elements such as glass block walls—including a lighted pass-through element extending towards the garage—introduces depth, texture, and architectural preservation. A see-through fireplace connects the dining space and primary suite, creating both intimacy and continuity, while a second fireplace anchors the great room as a warm and inviting focal point. This is more than a home—it is a published architectural design, brought forward into today with intention, craftsmanship, and a modern cottage sensibility. A truly rare offering within one of Kirkwood’s most sought-after settings.
