St. Louis Style

Fallingwater

I am back home after a grueling drive last night.  Somehow my sons convinced me to continue driving all the way back to St. Louis when we planned on spending the night in Columbus. 

Oh well at least we are home and don't have to drive today.

Fallingwater was an experience and I want it!  Seeing this Frank Lloyd Wright home inspires you to further appreciate the architect and his focus on integrating a house with its surroundings.I wish I could show you some interior pics, though the museum does not let you take them.  You can see how our local William Bernoudy used many of the same ideas as Wright in his homes.  The use of built-in bookshelves, seating, lighting, etc.  He also was great at bringing the outside in  with his use of windows, terraces and balconies.

 

 

 

14 Brazillian Ct., Ladue

This fine mid-century home in Ladue was designed by William Bernoudy, though completed by someone else. It is located next to another fine Bernoudy on a quiet cul-de-sac. In fact, when I first saw that house was on the market, I thought it was the Bernoudy next door that was back on the market. Remember that house sold very quickly this Spring....so hurry up if you are interested in this one!

It is offered at a reasonable $699,900 and is almost 2900 sq ft with 3 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths.

Offered by Karen Seigel @ Laura McCarthy Real Estate  314-725-5100  Open this Sunday.

Bernoudy Article

A few weeks ago I had some posts on the Bellerive CCGs Bernoudy. FYI....it is under contract. Here is the article that was in St. Louis Homes magazine about this lovely house:  http://www.stlouishomesmag.com/St-Louis-Homes-and-Lifestyles/August-2008/Element-of-Surprise/

24 Dielman Road

I was in this Bernoudy again the other day. It has just been reduced in price to $819,000. The house is so lovely and private. If you want a Bernoudy, this is about the most economical one that will come on the market.

30 Westwood CC Grounds

The other day I featured 30 Westwood CC Grounds. I was in the house the other day, and took some additional pictures of the house.

For $925,000 you get over 5,000 sq ft of living space on over an acre. In addition, the basement is enormous with tall ceilings. Supposedly the owner had it built as a fall out shelter for a local school.
