Open House Sunday 9/12 1-3pm 

This "storybook" home has an English cottage look and an "Old World" feel. Itscharm comes from its many unique appointments: original peg-and-plank hardwood floors; stone-floored entryway and fireplace hearth; butler's pantry and breakfast nook; stone walkways and architectural facings; two-story herringbone brick bay windows; 9' high ceilings with crown moldings.

Some of the updates are newer windows, atrium doors, roof, furnace, hot water heater, central air, elec. air filter and dehumidifier.  The same family has lived in this home since 1976, and they have renovated and enlarged it with a two story addition to the rear.  While the original spaces are more traditional in style, the newer areas have a more open and contemporary feel.  The substantial addition includes: an exceptional master suite with an enormous all wood walk-in closet and a book-cased sitting room that opens to a 16' long outside balcony; large marble-floored bathrooms; a spacious family room; a handsome den/guestroom with French doors, wall and ceiling moldings, and antique leaded glass windows.

The home's stucco exterior has been handsomely updated with architectural stonework details. The property is striking with its towering chimney, unique rooflines, broad front slate patio enclosed by a wrought iron railing.  It includes flagstone walkways and tasteful landscaping and gardens, complete with a backyard patio and corner deck.

In 2010, the interior has been meticulously updated with new carpeting, paint and refinished hardwood floors.  This is a home that looks warm and inviting from the outside and serves up a delightful surprise of space and livability on the inside.…

Chevy Chase is a rare find! Many residents have lived here for decades and young families move into the neighborhood every year.  Many factors have made Chevy Chase a premier St. Louis County neighborhood.  It is situated in the Ladue School District, one of the top school districts in Missouri.  It is less than 3 min. drive to Clayton, 15 min. to Downtown St. Louis, and centrally located near 170, 40 and 270 highways. Chevy Chase is composed of curving, tree-lined streets and traditional two-story homes.  There is an active neighborhood association and many events promote community among the residents every year. There are holiday parties, progressive dinners, bike parades, a house tour, street dance, and barbecue.  The common ground at the beautiful Old English entrance is a favorite place for gathering and playing. A neighborhood gardening group regularly maintains the handsomely landscaped entrance.  A drive through this neighborhood tells you that the residents are proud and happy to live in Chevy Chase!
