Built in 1953 in Kirkwood’s Craig Woods neighborhood, this Ralph Fournier–designed home is the epitome of Midcentury Modern.
Recently renovated, the two-story offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths. The design is classic Fournier, high-vaulted ceilings and abundant windows, and leaves the 2,409-square-foot interior feeling larger than you’d figure. Fournier and his wife became pioneers of Suburban Modernism, a movement thought to bring a new era of design to suburbia.
