76 River Valley Drive Chesterfield, MO 63017

Set behind iron gates at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Chesterfield's River Bend neighborhood, this home sits on 1.7 private acres backing to thick woods, so the only neighbors you'll see out back are the trees. Built in 1966, the home was fully remodeled in 1998 with an addition that doubled its size to 5,246 square feet above grade, plus a finished walkout lower level and a 3-car garage. This house was made for hosting, inside and out. The kitchen, with cherry cabinets, granite and an island that seats ten, opens to a two-story great room with walls of windows, a see-through fireplace and a spiral staircase to the loft. Formal living and dining rooms, a den and a hearth/game room with heated stone floors give everyone room to spread out. Upstairs, the primary suite has a fireplace, a covered balcony over the pool, a cedar walk-in closet and a jetted tub. Two more bedrooms, a library with built-ins and laundry complete the level, with 5 full and 1 half baths in all. The walkout lower level keeps the party going: a theater area with a gas fireplace, a full bar, room for a pool table, a wine cellar, a sleeping space and a full bath. Outside, the pool is surrounded by plenty of deck space for lounging, plus a gazebo and a covered outdoor bar with a wood stove. A waterfall pond out front and a barn for extra storage round out the grounds. Photos only tell part of the story. The detail in this home has to be seen in person to be appreciated.
