]]>Take advantage of this rare chance to be part of the amazing history of the Walker Mansion, which tastefully blends old-world craftsmanship with updates for today’s lifestyle. This three-story, federal-style residence is situated on a premier, gas lamp-lit private street in the CWE, just steps from restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. In 2014, the home was masterfully rehabbed and updated while retaining all the charm, grandeur, and detail of the original craftsmen. Surrounded by mature trees, this lot -- the only double lot on the street -- provides for both a spacious yard and a highly desirable private driveway leading to a large, front-facing garage/carriage house. Grand, high-ceilinged spaces, such as the 37’ x 18’ double parlor with a stunning floor-to-ceiling limestone fireplace, feature original woodwork and flooring. The second floor features 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, an office/library, and laundry. The owner’s suite includes a large walk-in shower, heated floors, custom cabinetry and millwork, and a walk-in closet. The third floor includes 2 additional bedrooms, a full bath, a computer nook, and an expansive 1,000+ sq. ft. unfinished space that was originally planned to be used as a ballroom – let your imagination be your guide as to how you will use it!
David Walker, great-uncle to President George H. W. Bush, built the mansion in 1903 and was the first of a long list of prominent residents of this home, including the Countess Marie Reine Fusz de Penaloza. The extensively documented history of this home includes 100+ years of articles in local newspapers, a showcase in the CWE Home and Garden tour, and a recent feature as the Ladue News Show Home – with a cover and 25+ page article in Elegant Living magazine.
The sellers have made over $200k in improvements since purchasing the home in 2014 and have worked diligently to maintain and preserve the timeless architectural details.
