Property Description

Designed in 1954 by noted St. Louis architect Ralph Fournier, this exceptional Mid-Century Modern residence is more than a home—it's a piece of architectural history. Set on nearly an acre in one of Webster Groves' most desirable locations, the home embodies Fournier's philosophy of bringing the outdoors in through clean lines, expansive walls of glass, abundant natural light, and a seamless connection to the surrounding landscape. His work, influenced by the ideals of Frank Lloyd Wright and now recognized as "Suburban Modernism," helped define an important chapter of St. Louis residential architecture. From the moment you arrive, the experience is unlike a traditional home. Sunlight pours through a wall of windows, framing peaceful views in every direction while creating an ever-changing backdrop throughout the day. The open floor plan flows effortlessly from one living space to the next, making the home equally suited for quiet evenings or entertaining friends. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its architectural integrity, the remodeled kitchen opens naturally into the living and dining spaces where timeless design and modern comforts coexist beautifully. Three bedrooms, two full baths, and a separate detached studio provide exceptional flexibility—whether envisioned as a yoga or fitness studio, art space, private office, creative retreat, or additional storage. Outside, the lifestyle is every bit as compelling. Nearly an acre of private grounds surrounds the home, creating a retreat rarely found in central Webster Groves. Spend summer afternoons beside the iconic circular pool, entertain under the stars, or simply relax while the mature landscape becomes an extension of the home's living space. Architecturally significant yet remarkably livable, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Webster Groves' most distinctive Mid-Century Modern homes—where timeless design, natural beauty, and everyday living come together in a way that feels just as inspiring today as it did more than seventy years ago.
