Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own a true piece of St. Louis architectural history with an extraordinary private lakefront lifestyle. Built by well known St. Louis architect Tom Hall for his personal residence in 1974, this house is truly one of a kind. Hall was known as the “Corridor King” because of his many contemporary buildings that he designed along highway 40. The current sellers, who happen to be the only other family to inhabit the home have paid meticulous attention during extensive renovations to every detail to maintain and preserve the character of this mid century home. Nestled on 3 wooded acres in Arrowhead Estates, this lakefront property is just minutes from Chesterfield’s grocery stores/ restaurants, Chesterfield valley shopping/entertainment (Outlet Mall, The District, The Factory), Faust Park/Butterfly House and Highway 40.
Covered front porch welcomes you into a light filled interior where skylights and Tom Hall’s signature circular window can be seen. The open floor plan is beautifully balanced with views of nature for every season. Off the foyer is a spacious dining room with a huge picture window, fireplace and intimate sunken conversation pit. Custom wood screens designed by the seller to resemble the surrounding woods encircle the atrium and add warmth and artistry to make the space even more unique. Tom Hall’s original office where he held his business offers a private entrance, half bath, closets and a divided work space. Walls featuring his original architectural blueprint drawings preserve a remarkable piece of the home’s history. The main floor primary bedroom is a retreat of its own with a fireplace, skylights and sliding doors leading to a private balcony overlooking the lake. New programable skylight shades offer control of your views to the sky and stars. The primary bath features a separate tub and shower, while an exceptional walk-in closet includes its own island.
The kitchen’s separate dining area and breakfast bar easily flow together with the lower family room for entertaining. The family room offers lake views, an impressive floor to ceiling sculptured marble fireplace, ample seating for entertaining, a huge storage closet and back stairwell with another circular window. Both kitchen and family room have sliding glass doors leading to lakeside decks which bring the outdoors in. There is also another half bath, laundry room and 2 car attached garage to complete the lower level.
Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms pair beautiful views with new flooring, lighting, custom blinds and ample closets, including a walk-in and storage closet. Each bedroom comes with vaulted birch ceilings, new lighting/ceiling fans and beautiful custom wood “tree” screens which match the atrium to preserve the open architecture, allow for airflow and create privacy. Completely remodeled bathrooms have vaulted ceilings and modern amenities. Beyond the beautiful finishes, significant investment in major systems- including roof, electrical, water heater, filtration and extensive foam insulation reflects the thoughtful care throughout. See supplements for a comprehensive list of improvements and updates completed during ownership. Outside extensive improvements compliment the acreage including retaining walls, grading, landscaping, tree removal, culvert pipe replacement, new driveway and lakeside dock. Watch the turtles sun themselves on the log in the lake, or the blue and green herons glide above the water while the huge grass carp and bass swim about as if they were in your own private aquarium. This quiet, gated community also has its own tennis courts.
More than a home, This is a private lake retreat created for living, gathering and unwinding. It’s architectural history while being a piece of art itself with modern comfort surrounded by woods and water- seemingly away from it all yet minutes away from everything.
