Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac within walking distance of Reed Elementary, this charming Colonial offers classic architecture, gracious living spaces, and an exceptionally beautiful setting. A handsome brick and clapboard exterior, welcoming covered front porch, and distinctive second-story balcony create timeless curb appeal. Inside, hardwood floors, traditional millwork, and abundant natural light lend warmth and character throughout. The spacious living room features a fireplace and built-in bookcase and opens to a sun-filled family room with walls of windows overlooking the grounds. An inviting formal dining room with a bay window provides a wonderful setting for entertaining, while the kitchen offers generous cabinetry, stone countertops, an ample pantry, and stainless steel appliances. Upstairs are four bedrooms and three full baths, including a spacious primary suite with an updated bath and access to the charming front balcony. Two additional bedrooms are connected by a shared bath, while a fourth bedroom with its own ensuite bath is ideal for guests or a home office. The finished lower level adds flexible recreation space as well as laundry and ample storage. Outdoors, an expansive lawn framed by mature trees and established gardens creates a remarkably private, park-like setting large enough for a game of tag or flag football. Brick patios and an elevated all-weather deck offer multiple spaces for outdoor dining and entertaining. An attached two-car garage and additional enclosed shed storage complete the home. This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the character and tranquility of an established Ladue neighborhood, just a short stroll from the restaurants, shops, and amenities of downtown Clayton.
