Property Description

Rarely does a home of this architectural pedigree become available. Designed by renowned architect Ralph Fournier, this exceptional mid-century modern ranch rests on nearly half an acre in the coveted Sunswept subdivision, within the award-winning Ladue School District. Thoughtfully reimagined for modern living while preserving its original spirit, the residence pairs iconic mid-century design with sophisticated contemporary finishes.Walls of glass, a dramatic see-through fireplace, skylights, George Nelson lighting, and crisp architectural lines create an extraordinary sense of light, space, and connection to the outdoors-the hallmark of true mid-century living.The exterior has been masterfully transformed with custom mid-century-inspired entry doors, dual modern garage doors, a newly paved asphalt driveway, updated fencing, French drains, and a sculpted retaining wall. Beyond, a breathtaking Japanese-inspired garden unfolds as a living work of art. Rare Japanese maples, Alaskan weeping cedar, Cave Hill bald cypress, Pinus parviflora, hydrangeas, Japanese forest grass, Godzilla painted ferns, hostas, Scotch moss, and countless seasonal plantings create a collector's garden with beauty in every season.Inside, every detail has been carefully curated. Highlights include luxury vinyl plank flooring, architectural uplighting, a beautifully updated granite kitchen with stainless steel appliances-including the refrigerator, washer, and dryer-and spa-inspired bathrooms finished with floor-to-ceiling Carrara marble, floating vanities, European shower systems, bidet toilets, heated primary bath floors, and a heated towel warmer.Additional enhancements include Lutron dimmers, AT&T Fiber, a Nest thermostat, updated electrical panel, complete insulation replacement, and a 2-10 Home Warranty for added peace of mind.Featured in CIRCA Old Houses Magazine and shared with old-home and architecture lovers around the world, this is far more than a beautifully updated residence-it is a rare opportunity to own a piece of St. Louis architectural history, artfully preserved and elevated for today's lifestyle.
