Description

Experience modern luxury living at its finest in this architect-designed contemporary residence, located just blocks from Clayton. Thoughtfully crafted by the late architect Philip Duram, this custom-built home blends striking design with everyday functionality, creating a light-filled retreat characterized by soaring ceilings, natural materials, and seamless indoor-outdoor living. A dramatic two-story open living space showcases tongue-and-groove hickory flooring, expansive insulated windows, and a stunning open-air atrium featuring a Japanese rock garden framed by a cypress rainscreen system. Clean architectural lines and gallery lighting provide an ideal backdrop for art and entertaining. The European-inspired kitchen is both sophisticated and functional, equipped with honed granite countertops, stainless steel backsplash, and custom beech cabinetry that includes pull-out pantry storage. Premium appliances include a Gaggenau gas cooktop with electric grill, an island hood, a built-in oven, a Sub-Zero refrigerator, and a wine cooler. From the kitchen, step outdoors to a well-designed, modern private sanctuary boasting a two-tier Ipe deck, a custom gas firepit, architectural lighting, and landscaped grounds featuring a dry creek bed with polished river rock and sculptural boulders, highlighted by a unique Cor-Ten Steel privacy fence. The first-floor primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spa-inspired bath featuring heated marble floors, an Agape soaking tub and sink, marble vanity, and a luxurious shower with a waterfall head, bench seating, and body sprayers. The second floor offers three additional bedrooms, complemented by a full bath and an open, lofted area with custom contemporary glass railings overlooking the main living area. Ideal space for relaxing or a home office if desired. The partially finished walk-out lower level expands the home’s flexibility with heated slate flooring, a spacious laundry area with custom cabinetry, a full-size refrigerator/freezer, a dressing area with built-ins, and a mirrored fitness space. Additional highlights include a solar system, EV-charger readiness, a two-car garage with storage cabinetry and workshop area, a security system, irrigation, and thoughtfully integrated architectural details throughout. Publication awards include the St. Louis Architects Large Design Award - 2009 and the St. Louis Design Magazine - 10 Most Beautiful Homes - Sept/Oct 2019 issue. A rare opportunity to own a distinctive contemporary home in a prime location near Clayton, offering design, privacy, and modern efficiency.
