53 Kingsbury Place

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.
