Property Description
Set on three private acres in Forest Lake Estates within the Francis Howell School District, this 5300+ square foot atrium ranch has been reimagined in its entirety. The kitchen, dining room, great room, bathrooms, flooring, lighting, and paint have all been renewed, allowing the home to feel newly built while retaining the scale and setting only a mature lot can offer. Inside, the great room rises beneath a vaulted ceiling, where a wall of windows draws the surrounding acreage into everyday view. The kitchen continues that sense of openness with its own vaulted ceiling, 42 inch cabinetry, quartz countertops, a center island, coffee bar, and walk in pantry. A half bath and laundry room are conveniently located nearby. Warmed by a gas fireplace beneath a vaulted ceiling, the breakfast room opens through an atrium door to a composite deck. Stairs lead to the saltwater inground pool below, quietly set within the landscape. The open dining room, also crowned by a vaulted ceiling, lends a natural sense of occasion to gatherings both intimate and grand. The primary suite is a retreat in itself, featuring a vaulted ceiling and fully renovated en suite bath. A full bath serves the remaining bedrooms, while an additional half bath is positioned near the great room. The walkout lower level extends the home into a world of its own, offering a family room, recreation room with golf simulator, additional bedrooms, a full bath, bar, and an expansive fitness space anchored by an infrared sauna. It is a level suited equally to quiet restoration and entertaining at scale. The setting completes the picture. A four car, side entry garage accommodates a serious collection, while three acres, with the pool at their center, create a rare sense of seclusion within the Francis Howell corridor, an oasis glimpsed from beyond the tree line but fully experienced only from within.
