Property Description

In the heart of Kirkwood’s East Monroe Historic District, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home offers over 2,000 sq ft of historic charm and unforgettable gardens — all within walking distance to the shops, dining, and energy of downtown Kirkwood.Featured multiple times in Better Homes & Gardens, Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion, and the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, the home and gardens have been celebrated nationally for their beauty and character. The garden, lovingly designed and maintained over decades, is a true neighborhood landmark — with thousands of rare daffodils, specimen magnolias, meandering brick pathways, a waterfall pond, and even a whimsical treehouse retreat. Inside, timeless details abound: original wood floors, antique crystal chandeliers, French doors, hand-silkscreened Brunschwig et Fils wallpapers, and a fireplace surround crafted from antique English majolica tiles. The kitchen blends history and artistry with travertine marble floors, hand-painted cabinets, and a Delft-tile backsplash. A light-filled greenhouse connects seamlessly with the living spaces, offering year-round garden enjoyment and room to dream. Upstairs, the original clawfoot tub and built-in bedroom retreat add one-of-a-kind character. This is more than a home — it’s a Kirkwood icon, offering the rare chance to own a property where history, artistry, and community come beautifully together, with endless possibilities to add your own touch.
