12231 Old Big Bend Road, Kirkwood, MO 63122

$400,000

OPEN Sunday 11/9 from 1-3pm Set back from the street on a generous 1/3-acre lot, this beautifully decorated two-story home blends timeless character with modern comfort in one of the area’s most desirable school districts. Every detail has been thoughtfully updated, creating a turn-key home that feels warm, stylish, and… Read More inviting. From the moment you pull up the circular driveway, the covered front porch invites you to slow down. It’s the perfect spot for morning coffee or an evening chat in your favorite rocking chair. Natural light pours through thermo-pane windows on all four sides, filling the home with a bright, uplifting atmosphere year-round. Gleaming wood floors flow seamlessly throughout both levels, uniting the spaces with warmth and sophistication. The updated kitchen is the heart of the home, an ideal gathering place with a sit-at peninsula, stainless-steel appliances, built-in microwave, and modern fixtures. You’ll love the thoughtful details: an appliance garage for tidy storage, custom cabinetry, and a designer range hood that adds flair. Whether cooking for two or entertaining friends, this kitchen is designed for connection and convenience. The main-floor primary suite is a true retreat featuring a walk-in closet with a built-in organization system and a washer and dryer for ultimate ease. A charming nook within the suite could be your cozy reading lounge or offers potential for adding a private ensuite bath, providing an easy, equity-boosting opportunity. Upstairs are two large bedrooms, two large closets, and a bathroom, offering space and privacy for household members or guests. The home’s flexibility continues with a remarkable bonus space: the converted two-car garage, now a separately accessed unit with a vaulted ceiling and loft. This dynamic area can serve as a fourth bedroom, studio, guest quarters, or home office, depending on your lifestyle. Behind it, a workshop and storage area with an overhead door provides the perfect place for tools, hobbies, or weekend projects. Even with the garage conversion (which can easily be reversed), parking is abundant thanks to both a rear driveway and a circular drive that together accommodate four or more vehicles. The backyard patio is an ideal spot for barbecues, fire-pit gatherings, or simply unwinding among mature trees. This home strikes a rare balance of size, condition, and features, plus full of charm and custom touches often found only in higher-end listings. Recent updates, including the roof, windows, and HVAC add peace of mind, while stylish light fixtures, tile work, and finishes throughout reflect true pride of ownership. Enjoy quick access to I-270 and I-44, and take comfort in knowing the award-winning school district—with an elementary school less than a mile away—will help protect your property value for years to come.
