Designed by St. Louis’s beloved MCM architect Ralph Fournier, this California style home in Craig Woods is the ultimate find for mid-century modern enthusiasts. Nestled on a private, tree-backed lot in a neighborhood known for harmony with nature, this home features multiple outdoor hangouts: a flagstone patio off the walkout lower level, a grilling/dining patio off the kitchen, a cozy back patio ideal for firepit nights, and even a rooftop deck atop the garage. Inside, it’s everything we love about Fournier’s signature style—vaulted ceilings, floor-to-ceiling and clerestory windows, and dramatic up-lit soffits. The great room impresses with newer hardwoods, a stunning wall of glass, and a wood-burning fireplace. The spacious eat-in kitchen is a total vibe with original turquoise metal cabinets, newer stainless steel appliances, pantry, and access to the patio. The main floor also includes three bedrooms and two full baths. Need more space? The walkout lower level is a huge bonus, with brand new flooring, a renovated full bath, custom built-ins, wood-burning fireplace, a sweet retro kitchenette, custom built-ins galore, and bedrooms 4 & 5. Water heater 2025, roof 2017, 2-car garage, and Kirkwood Schools round out the list. This one’s a rare gem—don't miss it!
