* Showings begin at the open house, Thursday, July 9, 4-6 PM * Steeped in Kirkwood history and beautifully updated for modern living, this 2-story home was once the residence of Judge Peter C.

Inside, 7 Velux skylights fill the entire home with natural light, complementing 10' ceilings, historic millwork, exposed beams, a bay window, and gleaming blonde hardwood floors throughout. The living room features a marble TV wall with custom Amish-built cabinetry, while crown molding and wall-to-wall built-in bookshelves add further charm.The eat-in kitchen showcases Aurora stone countertops and 42 custom cabinets, flowing seamlessly into a separate dining room with wainscoting, wood floors, and a chandelier, and on into the living room and sunroom. The sunroom's ceramic tile floor, vaulted wood ceiling, dual decks, and garage access make it a favorite spot to relax. A main-floor laundry and updated half bath complete the first level, along with a bonus room above the garage - perfect for a man-cave or kids' play space.A dramatic wood staircase leads upstairs to a huge primary suite with ample closet space, wood floors, and a renovated full bath featuring double sinks and a walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and an updated full bath complete the upper level, while a partial walk-up lower level offers flexible storage or workout space.Outside, enjoy a fabulous, private, fully fenced backyard with a newer patio, stone fire pit, and premium wood fencing. A 2024 architectural roof replacement included the installation of new Velux skylights throughout, plus newer windows with a transferable warranty and Hunter Douglas blinds throughout the main level and upstairs landing.Walk to downtown Kirkwood, the elementary school, and Kirkwood Park from this beloved corner-lot home - 2,700+ sq ft of finished living space, drenched in natural light, ideal for entertaining and everyday family life alike.
