Home Details for 223 N Bemiston Avenue

In the heart of Old Town Clayton, this distinguished residence offers a rare blend of architectural drama, effortless luxury and extraordinary privacy. From the moment you enter, the home makes its intentions known. A dramatic foyer unfolds beneath a graceful elliptical barrel-vaulted ceiling, while pale brushed-oak floors laid in a striking herringbone pattern draw the eye toward the beautifully appointed rooms beyond. Designed for both grand entertaining and intimate daily living, the main level flows effortlessly from an elegant dining room - made for candlelight, cocktails and long dinners with friends - into a light-filled living room with soaring ceilings, a gas fireplace and an open staircase. The generously sized kitchen and breakfast room invite lingering mornings and lively evenings, with an oversized peninsula, abundant storage and beautifully refreshed cabinetry. Nearby, the enchanting all-season sunroom opens the home to lush, professionally landscaped grounds, creating a private retreat in every season. Tucked away in its own serene wing, the main-level primary suite opens directly to the gardens and features two organized walk-in closets and a spacious bath with jetted tub and separate shower. A handsome den with a second gas fireplace offers an intimate setting for quiet evenings or late-night conversation. Main-level laundry, powder room and an elevator provide ease without sacrificing style. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a Jack-and-Jill bath create gracious accommodations for family. The expansive finished lower level extends the living space with a family room, recreation room, exercise or flex space, full bath, bar and private fourth bedroom - ideal for guests, an au pair or multigenerational living. Recent improvements include a new roof, new hardwood and carpeting throughout, two new HVAC systems, fresh interior paint, professionally painted kitchen, laundry and primary bath cabinetry, and new cabinetry in the lower-level bath, bar and bedroom. Set amid lush, established landscaping with a rare three-car tandem garage and Taylor park just beyond - moments from Clayton’s finest dining, shopping and cafes - this stately residence is gracious, sophisticated, and quietly seductive.
