This exceptional 1.5-story home in Lake St. Louis offers an extraordinary opportunity to own a nearly new luxury home with beautiful designer finishes, thoughtful upgrades, and timeless appeal, without the wait or expense of building new. Just two years old and impeccably maintained, this shows like a model home from the moment you walk through the door. The first thing you’ll notice is the incredible two-story great room, where a dramatic wall of multi-pane windows stretches all the way up, filling the space with natural light and bringing the tree-lined backyard into view. A gas fireplace adds warmth and a cozy focal point, while the open-concept layout makes it easy to move from the great room into the kitchen and breakfast room. The windows across the back of the home are tinted for added privacy and energy efficiency—a thoughtful upgrade you’ll appreciate every day. At the heart of the home is a truly STUNNING kitchen that is clean, modern, and beautifully finished with white cabinetry, subtly veined countertops, and a large quartz island with a generous breakfast bar that provides the perfect gathering space. There’s plenty of room to cook, gather, and entertain, with 42-inch cabinets, soft-close doors and drawers, double wall ovens, a 5-burner gas cooktop, stainless appliances, and a large walk-in pantry. Recessed lighting and striking pendant fixtures add the finishing touch. The breakfast room is surrounded by natural light and opens directly to the back patio through a glass slider. The main-level primary suite feels like its own private retreat, with a beautifully finished bath featuring dual sinks, a separate soaking tub and shower, and an impressive 10' x 8' walk-in closet. The main level also offers a formal dining room, powder room, and a convenient mud room/drop zone and laundry room with utility sink thoughtfully positioned just off the oversized 3-car garage. Upstairs, the open hallway overlooks the great room and gives the second level a wonderful sense of connection to the main floor. Three additional bedrooms provide plenty of room for family and guests. Two bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, while the fourth has its own ensuite. All three bedrooms have walk-in closets, ceiling fans, and private access to a bathroom. The unfinished lower level gives you even more room to grow, with an egress window and rough-in bath already in place. Whether you envision a recreation room, home gym, office, 5th bedroom, or additional living space, you can finish it to fit your lifestyle. Outside, the tree-lined backyard creates a peaceful, private setting with plenty of shade, while the private not-through street adds to the home's tucked-away feel. The oversized 3-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles, storage, and all the extras that come with everyday life. And here’s another reason this home stands out: 8 years remain on the builder's structural warranty, plus a 5-year wet basement guarantee, all transferable to the new homeowners at closing. With its extensive upgrades and sophisticated finishes, it would be hard to build a comparable home today for the price. All of this is conveniently located just minutes from Highways 40/64 and 364, as well as the Shoppes at Hawks Ridge, where you’ll find shopping, dining, fitness, entertainment, and everyday conveniences. Beautifully designed, exceptionally well finished, and truly better than new—this is luxury living with nothing left to do but move in. This is the kind of home you’ll be excited to come home to.
