HOME TO EXCEPTIONAL EXCEPTIONAL Elegance By Maggie Peters | Photos courtesy of Mary Beth Benes | Photos courtesy of Mary Beth Benes
23 BROOKWOOD ROAD TOWN AND COUNTRY, MO
Situated on almost 3 acres of parklike grounds in a premier Town and Country location, this grand home is the picture of elegant and stately living. From the second you walk through the doors, you’ll be wowed by the grand two-story foyer – featuring a floating staircase and a gallery landing, leading to a paneled study with a fireplace and an elegant dining room. The great room is truly magnificent, flooded with natural light from two-story Palladian windows and featuring a wet bar and fireplace.
The designer kitchen, featuring quartzite countertops and commercial-grade appliances, is perfect for preparing meals to share with family in the adjoining breakfast room or for guests gathering in the vaulted hearth room with a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. The main floor is also home to your dream master suite, highlighted by a sitting room, beautifully appointed marble bathroom and French doors to a private deck.
Two staircases, one in the front and one in the rear, lead to three additional en suite bedrooms, and you’ll find a fifth bedroom in the finished lower level alongside a second kitchen. The spacious lower level also includes one full bath and one half-bath, a wet bar, a game room, a family room and an additional fireplace. All of this incredible space is also complemented by the outdoor living and entertaining areas, including a patio with a grilling station, a sports court and a resort-style pool and spa.

2501 CLIFTON AVE. ST. LOUIS, MO
This is an opportunity to own a property like no other! Situated in the Clifton Heights neighborhood of St. Louis, on the third-highest point in the city, you will find a historic, 115-year old Gothic church, fully renovated into a spectacular single-family home with all the amenities you could ask for. Currently used as a bed-and-breakfast, the space is full of endless possibility as a home for you and your family, as separate offices for your business or even as an event space.
The main floor showcases new, job-finished oak floors and cathedral ceilings. The majestic open floor plan centers on a dramatic staircase and the original stained-glass windows. The full kitchen is perfect for entertaining large gatherings; it opens to the surrounding living areas and features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances. Then, if you want some personal relaxation time, there is no better place than in the private hot tub in the bell tower, where you can experience breathtaking views of St. Louis while you soak.
The property features five bedrooms, each with a luxurious en suite bath, and the finished lower level houses the master suite, as well as a catering kitchen, recreation and hobby areas, and ample storage. The property also includes gorgeous gardens and terraces, as well as a parking pad and an off-street parking lot. This is a one-of-a-kind chance you don’t want to miss!
