Historic

Step into this extraordinary Dutch Renaissance Revival masterpiece designed by renowned architect Theodore C. Link for Louisa Anheuser of the Anheuser-Busch dynasty. Offering over 5000 square feet of creatively renovated and restored living space, this is a rare testament to opulent 19th-century craftsmanship in the prestigious Compton Heights community of St. Louis. The enticing circle drive & porte-cochere will draw you into one of the most architecturally significant homes in a neighborhood of architectural masterpieces, with a welcoming covered porch beneath a striking crow-stepped gable roof and oriel window above Romanesque entryway arches. Greeted by remarkable original millwork, intricate wood carvings, and exquisite masonry craftsmanship, you will find the grand fireplace commanding your attention, flanked by breathtaking art-glass windows bearing the iconic Anheuser-Busch insignia. Modern living meets historic grandeur with a well-designed kitchen featuring granite-topped custom cabinetry, breakfast & coffee bars, a butler's pantry, and premier appliances including a Wolf commercial stove, spacious dining and living rooms, and a sun-drenched solarium. Ascend the sweeping staircase where original stained glass filters light into a kaleidoscope of color ~ a daily reminder of the remarkable family who once called this their home. The second and third levels feature a peaceful primary bedroom suite & renovated bath, spacious bedrooms, two additional full baths, ample closet space, and plenty of room for everyone. This estate extends beyond the main residence, offering a handsome carriage house ~ once home to Clydesdales, two large workshops, a three-bay garage, and fully appointed guest quarters ~ truly a magnificently functional compound! Not just a house, this is a piece of St. Louis history waiting for its next great chapter as you make this your own place to call home! If you are not familiar with Compton Heights, this sought-after community is bustling with neighbor-centric activities year-round, from a festive Easter Parade and egg hunt on the shady neighborhood park grounds to neighborly summer patio gatherings, movie nights in the meadow adjacent to the community garden, Halloween festivities like no other, a holiday caroling dine-around, and impromptu neighborhood gatherings! Just minutes from major medical centers ~ SLU, BJC, Siteman, and Children's Hospital, and Washington University, Tower Grove and Forest Park, services, and restaurants.
