Vacation-at-home living meets an unbeatable central location in this one-of-a-kind lakefront retreat! Nestled on a gorgeous 1.2 acre lot backing to Westchester Estates’ private lake, this exceptional ranch in Creve Coeur offers a rare combination of privacy, recreation & an amazing location with its close proximity to Highways 270 and 40/64. Enjoy fishing, boating or waterskiing on the lake or relax and enjoy the view of the lake from your backyard featuring an inground saltwater pool. To house all your cars and water toys, you will love the oversized 2-car attached garage PLUS the 30′ deep detached garage with room for 2 additional cars and a boat. Inside, the home blends warmth, upscale finishes & wonderful natural light. The vaulted great room features hardwood flooring, 2 sets of atrium doors opening to the backyard oasis and a gorgeous tongue-and-groove ceiling with exposed beams and abundant recessed lighting. The center island kitchen boasts gorgeous Amish cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances including a 5-burner gas stove, a stone backsplash, ceramic tile floors, a large adjoining breakfast room & a slider door to the sunroom. Hardwood flooring continues through the hallway and bedrooms, including into the spacious primary suite with its large walk-in closet featuring custom built-ins and a center island plus a beautifully renovated bathroom with heated tile floors, double bowl vanity & an oversized dual-head shower with gorgeous tile work. The hall bath that services the 2 ancillary bedrooms (both with nice-size walk-in closets) is fabulous, too, and features heated tile floors, a double bowl vanity & a zero threshold shower. Completing the main floor are the laundry room and a 16′ x 12′ flex room with hardwood floors that could be converted back to a bedroom with the addition of a closet or used as a living room, dining room or home office. The finished lower level features a large rec room, another remodeled full bath with heated floors & designer tile work, an exercise room & an extra room that could be used as an office, playroom or sleeping area. The zoned HVAC and water heater were replaced in 2023, the front door & adjacent windows in 2025 and a new roof was installed just last week! This is more than a home—it’s a rare lifestyle opportunity in the heart of St. Louis!
