Although it was built in 1979, this Grantwood Village property includes historical touches, such as two mantels salvaged from houses built for the St. Louis World's Fair and 40,000 bricks reclaimed from houses in the Soulard area. The acre of land the house is situated on was once owned by Ulysses S. Grant and is within walking distance of Grant's Farm.
From the outside, the one-and-a-half story home looks like a modern farmhouse, complete with brick siding and a patio. The foyer keeps with a traditional look, opening into the kitchen, dining room, two-and-a-half bathrooms, living room, laundry room, and master bedroom. The great room, master bedroom, and kitchen all have their own fireplaces. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, in contrast with the older flair of the living room's crown molding and exposed beams.
The lower level includes another bedroom and bathroom, as well as a den and recreation area. The remaining four bedrooms are on the upper level, along with two bathrooms. The house comes equipped with two entertainment centers and two wet bars located in the great room and recreation room, as well as surround sound on the main and lower levels.
A four seasons room leads to the backyard, which features an in-ground saltwater pool and yet another fireplace, designed in homage to the one outside Annie Gunn's restaurant. There’s also a seating area and updated barbecue pit. A stone waterfall and backdrop of trees make the area feel like a true backyard oasis.
