Welcome to 241 South Graeser Road, an exceptional residence within the top-ranked Ladue School District. Completely reimagined and essentially rebuilt in 2022, this home blends modern luxury with timeless design and the privacy of a wooded retreat—while being within 20 minutes of everywhere in St. Louis. Walls, staircases, and entire spaces were moved or rebuilt to create a refined, functional layout, including the relocation of a full bathroom and the main staircase.
The state-of-the-art kitchen is a showpiece featuring one-of-a-kind custom cabinetry, a 5’ x 12’ classic quartz island with an overhang seating six, an oversized Thermador refrigerator with auto-opening doors, Thermador gas cooktop, Bosch double wall oven with side-opening doors, icemaker, and a second prep sink. The butler’s kitchen offers additional custom cabinetry, quartz counters, and another wall oven for effortless entertaining.
The master suite is a private sanctuary highlighted by a gas fireplace with a marble surround and custom mantle, a luxurious marble bath with floors and walls in marble, an extended double-sink custom vanity with a granite top, high-end lighting including automatic under-cabinet illumination, a soaking tub, walk-in shower, and a relocated window for natural light. The boutique-style custom closet features a center island with power and charging stations, and a hidden laundry area adds convenience without sacrificing design.
This home includes four fireplaces: masonry gas fireplaces with floor-to-ceiling stone and custom mantles in the great room and sunroom, a marble-surround gas fireplace in the master suite, and a sleek biofuel fireplace in the Dark Room.
The dining room features a swinging door to the butler’s kitchen and a window seat overlooking the expansive front yard—perfect for everyday meals and holiday celebrations. The Dark Room provides a warm, intimate space with its biofuel fireplace, dramatic lighting, and another inviting window seat. The sunroom impresses with a floor-to-ceiling stone gas fireplace, soaring coffered ceilings, and room for multiple seating or dining areas—ideal for year-round enjoyment.
Every system has been renewed, including all-new wiring, plumbing, and lighting fixtures, plus a new subfloor on the main level. Two new sump pumps with interior drain tile and an exterior French drain, a brand-new 35-year architectural shingle roof, and added attic insulation ensure comfort and efficiency. Exterior upgrades include a new composite deck with hidden walk-up basement access, expanded driveway, new irrigation system, and complete landscaping.
Surrounded by 9 acres of woods and fronted by 5.5 acres more, the setting provides extraordinary privacy, with only one window offering a view toward another residence. Despite its seclusion, the location provides exceptional access to major highways, dining, shopping, hospitals, and top-rated schools. With its comprehensive redesign, impeccable craftsmanship, and serene natural surroundings, 241 South Graeser Road offers a level of luxury and livability that is truly one of a kind.
