Circa 2005, this newer construction is in the heart of popular Benton Park, just a short walk to Blues City Deli, Hodak’s, Sidney Street Café, and Peacemaker Lobster & Crab. As you enter this custom-built home, you're greeted by a two-story, light-filled foyer before entering the large living room, which could also be used as a formal dining room. Upgraded features include custom-designed stained glass windows in the primary en-suite bath and flanking the front door, a mosaic sink in the first-floor bath, custom kitchen and bath cabinetry, and a full brick exterior. The open-plan chef’s kitchen has one of the largest peninsulas you’ll see, double wall ovens, a huge stainless undermount sink, wine refrigerator, and extra large walk-in pantry designed by St. Louis Closets. Perfect for entertaining, the hearth room features a gas fireplace and plenty of room for another dining area. The primary bedroom is extra large with an antique marble fireplace, his and her walk-in closets, adjacent laundry room, and an en-suite bath with separate jetted tub and shower. The basement has 9 ft ceilings with plumbing roughed in, just waiting for you to customize for another 1100+ square feet of living/recreational space. The back deck is large enough for your grill and al fresco dining, and you’re going to love the 2-car garage—a rare find in the city. A bonus fenced-in yard space can be found on the north side of the garage that would be perfect for your vegetable garden!
