Property Description

The Birchwood at Bates Bend - This site is in the prime location of Dardenne Prairie and is the Builder's personal residence. The Estate Lot is 1.8 Acres with an irrigated and pampered lawn where the residence is positioned 250 feet from the road for a grand approach and free of HOA rules. Destined for parties for a crowd or just impromptu fun. The front meadow is ready for wedding tents, family soccer tournaments and a future pickle ball court could easily be in your dreams for the rear extensive lawn area. The long driveway becomes the Red Carpet for any event. All that is missing is the paparazzi! *****The Inspiration of the Birchwood Residence was a collective effort of Architect Larry Spraul of LR Spraul Designs, and Custom Builder Tim Griffey of Griffey Custom Homes. The overall theme was to incorporate three loves: “The love of the outdoors”, “Comfortable, yet dramatic spaces”, and “The celebration of fine craftsmanship” that is displayed throughout the home. The inspiration and careful direction of the concept resulted in a special home to share with family and friends, from small gatherings to large memorable events. So many memories are awaiting….. The positioning of the structure led to the creation of several exterior zones: The large meadow has been home to pampering all guests including the 2 resident labs who have worn out the owners with their mastery of “Fetch”. You could also evolve into a skilled “referee” for family football and be rewarded with a whistle to control the crowd. The aluminum fenced rear yard has proven to keep the 4-legged residents and a herd of wild grandchildren corralled and is large enough to have court sports and a pool. .......The yard flows to the right of the home to a private patio area from the walk-out lower level with an additional 2,361 square feet of high ceiling spaces to ignite your imagination. When the pups and kids are coated with the remnants of their outdoor fun, the Family Entry has a pet and people shower center for their re-entry into the pampered world of the interior. The Family Entry contains the perfect drop zones, the Expansive Laundry Center and quick Powder Room access. The finishes are exceptionally executed in every area of the home. From the Main Entry you have a sense of what lies within. The Main Level features 10-foot Ceilings, 8 Foot Doors, and job finished hardwood floors throughout the public spaces and owner’s private spaces. The craftsmanship begins with sleek box beamed ceiling treatment, architecturally correct window surrounds featuring transoms with cross head crowns and 8-inch base trim. The design is sleek and sculptural, with details that will easily embrace a traditional to a polished contemporary setting. This is not a vanilla box by any means. Every corner, every view, leaves something to be discovered. The East Wing of the Main Floor is dedicated to pampering the Owners at every turn. There is no fighting over closet space with two primary custom closets and a place for every shopping treasure. The Bedroom contains a large salon setting with fireplace and pocket doors that lead to a flex space with a breath-taking soaring hardwood ceiling. The owners used the space for a home office, but it could easily be a private den or library. The Owner’s Suite features every item the resident royalty would demand. The shower has room for a crowd, and the acoustics could be perfect for your morning American Idol rehearsal. The large lounging tub overlooks your wooded backdrop. You may be tempted to bring a towel. Review the extensive photography for a complete understanding of what this property offers: An Open Concept that captures the views and flows from Great Room, Private Dining Room, Family Dining, an Island that seats 8 comfortably, a fireside Hearth Room, a Kitchen that has everything including a walk-in butler pantry. Every space gives you the feeling of walking through a magazine. Owner is a licensed agent. Enjoy!!!
