HOME OF THE MONTH & OTHER NEW LISTINGS

Each month we will try to feature a home that we think represents the true Mid-Century Modern style. They are randomly selected from listings currently on the market.  So if you know of a home on the market that we’ve missed, please email Ginger Fawcett with the details and she will try to add it to the slideshow.

Please note that we will not be posting individual homes by request on this page.  However, we have started a topic in the Forum where you are free to post “for sale” properties, talk about homes on the market, or post real estate related questions.  We encourage you to post often and invite others to chime in so everyone will know what makes your home special!

A very Special Home of the Month for APRIL 2013
1718 Liggett Drive  in the Ridgewood Subdivision near Grant and Watson

To kick off April we are featuring a very special home.  Not only is it a pristine example of a fully restored and much loved MCM home in the Ridgewood subdivision, it also belongs to one of our own… Nathan Wilber.  Nathan is a founding board member of Modern-STL and once you see his home you’ll realize why we want to keep him!  Clearly this home was a labor of love for both he and his wife Hanna.  I could go on and on about the many special and unique features and the incredible furnishings but the pictures speak for themselves.  Their home will be open for the first time on Tuesday, April 2nd from 11am to 1 pm and you won’t want to miss it as it is highly likely that it will sell almost immediately.     Property Details Here

1718 Liggett Drive, Ridgewood Subdivision – Open Tues. 4/2/13

Located in Old St. Charles the home at 130 Prairie Haute maintain does need some serious TLC but the good news is that every original feature is still in place right down to the indoor water feature/pond in the dining room.  This home needs the love and attention of an MCM fan as it’s at risk of having all the unique details disappear in a “modern” renovation.   I have personally been inside this home and the MLS photos do not do justice to the potential of this property.

Located in Crestwood, 703 Rayburn is perfect for first time MCM buyers!  The neighborhood is “hidden” so many folks aren’t aware of this treasure trove of affordable modern homes.  It’s also a great example of how to decorate a smaller home in the modern style.  It will be OPEN this Sunday, July 17th!
