10 Vouga Ln, St Louis, MO 63131

Property Description

Reintroducing A Frontenac home unlike any other. 10 Vouga Lane is a distinctive two-story 1959 architectural residence where remarkable craftsmanship, modern luxury and a true sense of history come together. Professionally designed and thoughtfully restored, the home has been modernized for today’s lifestyle while carefully preserving the character, artistry and extraordinary woodwork that make it one of a kind. On just over 1 acre, the home is approximately 3,800 square feet with 3 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, and was designed for gathering, entertaining and celebrating. Since its previous offering, significant additional improvements have been completed, including a new roof, new gutters, refreshed primary suite and bath, restoration of the primary-suite deck and additional landscaping. These improvements build on an already extensive restoration. At its heart is the great room, an extraordinary space whose scale is difficult to appreciate until experienced in person. A built-in bourbon bar and separate wine bar make entertaining effortless, while the room's soaring proportions and architectural details create a setting unlike anything found in a conventional home. The great room's furnishings were carefully selected specifically for the scale and proportions of this oversized space and are included with the home if the buyer desires, allowing the next owner to immediately enjoy the room as it was envisioned. Just beyond is an award-winning chef's kitchen. Named the 2023 HBA Kitchen Remodel of the Year, the kitchen features an 8-burner Viking range, warming drawer and Chicago Brick Oven wood-burning pizza oven and was designed to accommodate both serious cooking and large-scale entertaining. Throughout the residence, the home's history remains unmistakable. Exceptional millwork, handcrafted doors and remarkable original woodwork have been preserved and incorporated into the professionally designed interior. Distinctive details add another level of craftsmanship and individuality rarely encountered in newer construction. Each of the three bedrooms has its own private ensuite bath, including two remarkably spacious upper-level suites. Both the primary and secondary suites provide more than 350 square feet of living space each, and that does not include their ensuite bathrooms. The secondary suite is comparable in size to a studio apartment, with ample space to establish separate sleeping and living areas. That flexibility makes the home particularly appealing for multigenerational families, an adult family member living at home, extended-stay guests, or someone wanting an exceptionally private home office or retreat. The primary suite offers its own sense of escape. Recently refreshed along with its ensuite bath, it opens to a restored private outdoor deck, providing another quiet place to enjoy the property's secluded surroundings. The entertaining experience continues outdoors. A heated pool and spa anchor a resort-inspired outdoor living environment surrounded by more than an acre of beautifully landscaped grounds. A weatherproof TV and Sonance surround sound complement an outdoor kitchen featuring a Mont Alpi grill, refrigerator and kegerator, creating a setting equally suited for a summer afternoon by the pool or an evening with family and friends. This is a home that has hosted charitable dinners, gathering of family around the holidays, hosted friends around the pool and still provides private spaces where everyone can retreat at the end of the evening. For a large or multigenerational family, or simply someone who believes a home should be a place where people come together, 10 Vouga Lane offers something increasingly difficult to find. And with the holiday season approaching, the timing couldn't be better for its next owners to begin creating traditions of their own. Historic character. Award-winning design. Exceptional entertaining. There simply isn't another home like 10 Vouga Lane.
