Built in 1940 as the personal home of St. Louis architect Arthur Florian Payne, an addition in '97, and then updated again about 10 years ago by its current and design savvy owner . A wonderful example of a Hollywood regency style ranch, reminiscent of the romantic Beverly Hills bungalow. Yes, truly one of a kind, this is a sophisticated and manageable home perfect for those who appreciate fine craftsmanship, colonial authenticity and top flight attention to detail. High ceilings and custom millwork and moldings throughout, along with floor to ceiling (Jeffersonian) windows accentuate the dramatic appeal. The great hall measures 21' x 16' with 12' ceilings, built-in shelves to display artwork and decorative grecian key designs conceal heat ducts. A comfortable hearth room boasts ceramic tile, pretty atrium doors to formal garden give this home an authentic Williamsburg attitude. Elegant. Distinctive. Romantic. No disappointments here! Showings Sat. 11/12/ Open House Sun 11/13 2-4pm.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
