Welcome to your Hillside Hideaway — a striking contemporary retreat built into a wooded hillside in Sunset Hills, backing directly to Powder Valley Conservation Area. This is a home that doesn't sit on its lot so much as grow out of it: walls of glass, soaring vaulted ceilings, and multiple decks that step down into the trees, blurring the line between inside and out at every turn.
The main level opens into a light-filled, open floor plan made for gathering, anchored by a chef's kitchen with floor-to-ceiling custom cabinetry, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and heated floors. A glass-wrapped breakfast nook and a four-season sunroom place you right in the canopy year-round, while a wood-burning fireplace and direct deck access make everyday living effortless.
Upstairs, three private bedrooms — each framing its own view of the woods — enjoy vaulted ceilings and an airy, oversized feel, while remaining open to the living space below. The primary suite offers an updated, heated-floor bath, and two additional bedrooms share a jack-and-jill bath.
The finished walk-out lower level adds even more room to live, with a bonus living area, a built-in wine rack, and flexible space for a family room, office, or gym. Two more decks extend the living outdoors — one with a pergola and fireplace, the other home to a brand-new custom cedar sauna.
Beyond the home, tiered stone gardens reward the active gardener, a custom-built clubhouse delights the youngest adventurers, and an oversized garage comes ready with a custom workbench. Extensive recent updates — including new Pella windows, foundation reinforcement, and fresh interior finishes — mean the big-ticket items are already handled.
All of this in the sought-after Lindbergh School District, tucked down a private drive yet just minutes from the shops and restaurants of Sunset Hills and historic downtown Kirkwood. Seclusion like this usually means a long drive home. Here, it doesn't.
Hillside Hideaway is the rare home that has to be experienced to be understood and appreciated in person.
