About This Home

A timeless turn-of-the-century Georgian Federal Revival, this architecturally significant residence—once home to Rolla Wells (then mayor of the 1904 World’s Fair)—has been masterfully restored and renovated across three exceptional levels in one of St. Louis’ most coveted neighborhoods. Restored to its original grandeur with decadent updates, the distinguished all-brick home seamlessly combines contemporary conveniences with immaculate historic architecture, showcasing exquisite period millwork, refinished hardwood floors, stained glass, soaring 10- and 9-foot ceilings, plantation shutters, and seven fireplaces throughout. Designed for both refined everyday living and elegant entertaining, the gourmet kitchen is appointed with Viking and Sub-Zero stainless steel appliances, a walk-in pantry, vegetable sink, wine storage, and a sunlit breakfast room featuring custom built-ins and dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows. The luxurious primary suite offers a multi-tray ceiling, boutique-style dressing room with custom cabinetry and center island, & a spa-inspired bath with a curved glass shower. Additional second-level accommodations include a spacious en-suite bedroom with sitting room, private office, and second-floor laundry. The versatile third level offers two additional oversized bedrooms plus an expansive bonus bedroom or recreation space. Above the detached four-car garage—finished with durable PebbleTec flooring—is an additional 924-square-foot guest residence complete with skylights, kitchen, laundry, bedroom, and full bath, ideal for extended stays, private guest quarters, or au pair accommodations. Set on a beautifully landscaped and level .35-acre lot with a deck, patio, and mature gardens, the grounds provide ample space for a future pool. Ideally situated near Forest Park, the St. Louis Zoo, premier hospitals, Clayton, fine dining, shopping, and major highways, this is a rare opportunity to own a truly exceptional home in one of St. Louis’ most prestigious settings.
