Kingsbury Place, Estate of the Day
Kingsbury Place is one of the prettier streets in St. Louis. It is a private street home to a marble archway with its own fountain created by the same architecture firm that worked on today's home. The street is a showcase of homes built in the early 1900s that reflect a variety of architectural styles. This Beaux Arts-style residence was built in 1904 and has a Bedford limestone exterior. The entry hall includes a curved staircase with a beautiful glass skylight and hand-painted murals. The home is 7,680 square feet with five bedrooms, a paneled library, a solarium and a wine room. The second floor master suite has a dressing room and a bathroom with a mosaic. There is also a hidden door which leads to the study. Outside there is a garden with a pool and a dining pavilion that looks a bit like the one at Paris Hilton's house. It is listed at $2.195 million. After the jump, in the wine room a little bit of faux to go with your Beaux.

A lovely place, but those folks unfamiliar with St. Louis proper will likely be shocked to hear that the asking price is slightly on the high end and it will likely sell for a slight bit less then the approx. $2.2 million listing.
Plenty of grand old mansions in good to excellent condition to be found on the boulevards and assorted private neighborhoods. However fetching anything above $2M is rare.
Such a city of world class residential architectural grace, but sadly stuck in a never ending urban blight and economic misfortune.

If you look at the askingprice of Paris Hilton's LA home (ugly, small and on a private road) of 4.900.000 $ and compare what you get for less than half the price with this stunner... St. Louis is very very cheap indeed !
