438 Lee Avenue Kirkwood, MO 63122

Open House Friday, 7/3, 4:30 - 7:00 PM. Beautifully furnished and only four years old, this impressive 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath home offers the comfort and convenience of newer construction in highly desirable Kirkwood, just minutes from schools, dining, shopping, and everything the community has to offer. The inviting front elevation features black accents and cedar posts that lead into a striking two-story entry and an open floor plan with hickory engineered hardwood throughout the main level, continuing up the extra-wide staircase, through the second-floor hall, and into the primary bedroom. The well-appointed kitchen includes ceiling-height custom cabinetry with gold hardware, quartz countertops, a subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a double oven, and a refrigerator that remains with the home. A large waterfall-style center island provides seating for four, a drawer-style microwave, and cabinetry on both sides, while the nearby butler’s pantry—ideal for a coffee center or extra pantry space—features a custom pass-through to the spacious dining room with beautiful wainscoting. The breakfast area and great room add to the open feel of the home with a custom fireplace surround, white birch gas logs, black accents, a flat-screen TV, built-ins for storage, and crown molding. The garage foyer offers custom cabinetry for a convenient drop zone, and the oversized two-car garage includes extra space for a workshop or storage, a Tesla charging outlet, and Beam central vacuum components. Upstairs, the primary bedroom en-suite features a coffered ceiling, heated tile bathroom floor, customized shelving, a wall safe, and a pocket office in the walk-in closet. Bedroom two includes its own en-suite bath, while bedrooms three and four offer walk-in closets. The second-floor laundry room adds everyday convenience with cabinetry and drying racks. The finished lower level provides a large family room with custom storage, a full bath, and a spacious fifth bedroom, while the utility room houses dual HVAC and a radon mitigation system. Exterior highlights include a generous .278-acre lot, an uncommon find for newer construction in Kirkwood, along with a full privacy fence, large backyard patio, Govee lighting package, full irrigation system, and leaf guard gutters. Thoughtfully designed, beautifully maintained, and move-in ready, this Kirkwood home offers an outstanding blend of style, comfort, and function.
