The first thing you’ll notice about 8801 Julia Dent Drive is it’s seclusion among the old growth oak trees that define the desirable Town of Grantwood Village. Nestled among custom landscaping in the Forest Haven section, this unique keystone home on more than three quarters of an acre is on a choice lot that is all but invisible from the busy intersection of Laclede Station Road and Rock Hill Road in South County. Trees that were alive when President Ulysses S. Grant and his wife, Julia Dent lived here still thrive due to protective ordinances that ensure the tranquil surroundings. The house is most often described as “unique” with its glass walls and generous overhangs. It was designed by a well-known commercial artist, Alexander Loelkes, who built this contemporary house for his family in 1951. It has been occupied and well maintained by the family since then. The 2,657 square foot house was built with classic Roman brick, Tennessee Limestone, and real redwood, and has been lovingly maintained by the Loelkes family for 75 years. It offers a step back to a dynamic post war period when solid plaster walls, expansive windows, hardwood floors, copper gutters, and marble window sills were in fashion. Recently updated Anderson windows offer convenience, safety, and lower utility bills as well as great views. From any room the new owner will enjoy expansive views of green and growing landscapes carefully cultivated to feature a perennial showcase of colorful trees and plants. 7 large rooms, 3 bedrooms, 4 baths, 3 fireplaces, a partially finished basement and a 2-car garage with a utility alcove offer plenty of working space.
