6470 Ellenwood Avenue, Clayton, MO, 63105

Nothing will impress you more than this Study & Farrar-designed home, built in 1922 for Globe-Democrat executive Douglas Houser. This 5,470 sq. ft. English country-style home sits on one of Skinker Heights' largest lots, just under .80 acres. The current owners have preserved and maintained this mansion for 30 years. This 6-bedroom, 4 full and 3 half-bath home offers 3 levels that support everyday living and entertaining. The first-floor living areas include a black walnut-trimmed front-entry vestibule with a powder room. A long gallery hall runs from the front vestibule, with sightlines through to a back vestibule that opens to the rear pool and yard areas. This long gallery hallway features American black walnut and open entries to the living room, dining room, family room, sunroom, large kitchen, breakfast area, and mudroom with an additional half bath. The wide front staircase is also trimmed in black walnut with wrought-iron spindles and a walnut banister. The staircase has a brief turn at a landing on the way to the 2nd-floor gallery hallway. The 2nd-floor primary suite has a large bedroom, a spa-style bathroom, and a walk-in closet with a door to an outside sitting area. A second bedroom is a guest suite with a full bath; 2 other nice-sized bedrooms and 1 full bath round out the 2nd floor. NOTE: A closet next to this bathroom could possibly be used for a stackable w/d. A separate back staircase leads down to the kitchen area. A separate set of stairs leads up to the 3rd floor, which has two additional bedrooms, a full bathroom, a cedar closet, and a storage area with an additional air conditioner. The lower level has a finished media & recreation space, storage, laundry, and a half bathroom. A special feature is the connected drive-through passageway on the east wing, which also provides access to the bonus area/original garage. Black fencing surrounds the pool, hot tub, and large grass backyard. The oversized three-car garage finishes this extraordinary estate. Sidewalks, beautiful trees, and minutes from Forest Park & Washington University's main campus.
