$1,175,000

Welcome to a truly special Clayton residence where storybook charm meets modern luxury. This Dutch Colonial, with its English Cottage influences, sits proudly in one of the most beloved pockets of Clayton—an area celebrated for its architectural character, unmatched walkability, and nationally recognized schools. And this home has been thoughtfully… Read More revitalized to honor its heritage while elevating everyday living. Step inside to find a warm, inviting interior that blends rich original details with fresh, high-end updates. In recent years, the owners invested in substantial improvements: extensive electrical upgrades including new wiring, outlets, switches, a whole-house surge protector, and rewired Wi-Fi for exceptional connectivity; new insulation; new drywall where needed; crisp, modern paint; and a curated selection of designer lighting and ceiling fans. The landscaping has also been reimagined to create more usable green space and enhance curb appeal. The floor plan is wonderfully flexible, offering options for those who work from home or prefer main-floor living. Two bedrooms, a full bath, and a laundry room with utility sink are conveniently located on the main level. The kitchen—bright, spacious, and centered around a massive island—features granite counters, fresh paint, stylish hardware, a new cooktop, dishwasher, and a refrigerator that stays. A charming breakfast room, window seat, butler’s pantry, and a bar with wine storage and beverage fridge make this the natural heart of the home. The elegant dining room is open to both the kitchen and gathering spaces, perfect for hosting. Upstairs, a custom, lighted, original handrail leads you to three more spacious bedrooms with beautiful hardwoods throughout. The updated hall bath keeps vintage character alive with modern convenience. The serene primary suite impresses with organized closets and a stunning renovated bath featuring double sinks, linen cabinetry, a luxurious air-jetted tub, heated marble floors, and a heated towel rack. The finished walkout lower level adds a cozy family room, half bath, and abundant storage. An oversized 2-car garage provides even more storage and workshop space. Outdoors, enjoy a lovely patio, lush lawn maintained by irrigation, and a truly exceptional detail—the slate tile roof, inspected in 2022 and estimated to have 30–40 years of life remaining. The two-car garage provides extra space for organized storage, an electric vehicle charger, and a quiet, wall-mount garage door opener. All of this, just a stroll from Shaw Park, Meramec Elementary, and the shops, cafes, and dining of downtown Clayton. A rare opportunity to own a beautifully restored piece of Clayton architecture that lives as comfortably as it looks. Read Less
