This magnificent English manor evokes the charm of the European countryside, privately nestled on more than 2.8 secluded acres with over 8,000 square feet of refined living space. Originally crafted in 1930 and fully reimagined through a comprehensive renovation between 2013-2017, the residence marries timeless architecture with modern sophistication. Arched doorways, leaded-glass windows, carved millwork, and timbered cathedral ceilings celebrate the home’s historic character, while thoughtful updates include HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and a slate roof. The expansive floor plan features five bedrooms, eleven baths, and a three-car garage, complemented by elegant gathering spaces designed for effortless entertaining. In 2020, the estate was enhanced by the purchase of an additional 1.3 acres, transforming the grounds into a private resort with a gunite pool, 12-person spa, stone courtyards, fountains, waterfalls, and fire features. An attached pool house—complete with a custom cabinetry, a farm sink, and beverage drawers—perfectly completes the retreat. Privately situated yet walkable to John Burroughs School, Reed Elementary, and St. Louis Country Club, this is a truly rare offering in the heart of Ladue.
