5589 Walnut Street, Augusta, MO, 63332

What if home felt like the place everyone else escapes to for the weekend? At 5589 Walnut Street, you can tumble out of bed—and instead of stumbling to the kitchen to pour yourself a cup of ambition (see my Dolly reference there) just head right next door for a cappuccino and warm homemade cinnamon roll at the Augusta Coffee Shop & Emporium. Bringing the home confidently into the present, wait until you see the completey renovated gourmet kitchen with a generous center island, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range and statement hood. The darling main-level bathroom has also been thoughtfully redesigned with new windows, tile flooring and a freestanding clawfoot tub—a fitting nod to the home’s history without sacrificing modern comfort. Prominently positioned on a nearly .40-acre corner setting, this exceptional brick residence has been part of Augusta’s story since 1880. Tall arched windows fill the rooms with natural light, while soaring 12-foot ceilings, substantial 18-inch walls, beautifully refinished wood floors, original millwork and a graceful curved staircase preserve the craftsmanship of another era. Six fireplaces add architectural character throughout the home; five currently contain coal inserts and offer the potential for conversion to wood-burning use. Extensive improvements include a metal roof, copper gutters, complete tuck-pointing, updated electrical wiring, refinished floors, wallpaper removal, fresh paint, new landscaping, and a new patio. A comprehensive improvement list is available. This is life in the heart of Augusta—America’s first federally designated wine region—where rolling hills, vineyards, festivals, live music and beloved holiday traditions bring the town to life, while peaceful mornings and star-filled evenings offer an entirely different pace. The Katy Trail is nearby, and an afternoon might include tea and homemade treats at Four Tulips, a tasting at Augusta Winery, music on the patio at Mount Pleasant Estates, dinner at Root Food + Wine, shopping at The Augusta Clothing Company or time to recharge at Halcyon Spa. Only about 45 minutes from St. Louis, this is more than an opportunity to own a historic home, it is a chance to live where other people come to slow down, reconnect and breathe a little deeper. Welcome to 5589 Walnut Street. Welcome to Augusta.

Welcome to this beautifully restored 1800s cottage in historic Augusta, Missouri—the gateway to wine country! This is your once in a lifetime opportunity to invest in America's first official 'American Viticultural Area' (AVA). Augusta, Missouri is enriched with history and centuries of settlers like Daniel Boone. This quaint 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom gem boasts a remarkable history and rich historic craftsmanship. Currently thriving as an active, successful short-term rental, this property offers incredible versatility. Whether you are looking for a turnkey investment property or a peaceful personal getaway, this unique piece of Augusta history is ready for its next chapter. A Rich Historical Legacy saved from Destruction: Originally built in the Missouri River Bottoms,just southeast of Augusta, a portion of this historic home was rescued around 1960 by Darold Rhinedollar. Mr. Rhinedollar, the town's last local blacksmith, carefully moved the structure to its current site next to his historic operational livery building, which still stands today. A historical architect notes that the home's original glass windows likely date back to the 1700s and were brought to the area by boat via the Missouri River. The current owners had custom storm windows made to protect and preserve these windows. Over the decades, this resilient building served as a beloved antique shop before being lovingly transformed into a successful Bed & Breakfast in 1998. In 2020 the home had renovations and new standing seam roof along with the timeless half round gutters. The current sellers at this point decided they would share their love for The Cottage with others and create a short term rental. Thanks to Mr. Rhinedollar's exceptional care during the relocation, combined with modern updates and meticulous ongoing maintenance, this solid little house is structurally sound and built to last another 100 years. Schedule your visit and experience the unmatched tranquility of wine country living. Call for your private tour today to witness this historic masterpiece in person!
