522 Houston St, Saint Charles, MO 63301

Built-in 1895, the High House of Prairie Haute makes a grand statement in St. Charles. Built in a traditional four-square craftsman style with 11ft ceilings throughout, this house is the gem of the block. Walk under the covered arbor past the beautifully planted English garden, and when you open the french front doors you're greeted by a stately staircase with the original wood banister and railings. There is nothing else out there like this house. With over 4,900 sq ft of historic living space there's enough room to do everything you want. The upper floor hosts four large bedrooms with unique walk-in closets, a walk-in center hall closet, a hallway sink, a laundry room, and a full bath with a clawfoot tub. The main floor has two living areas, two bedrooms (or offices, playrooms, or small business space), a kitchen, a den off the back of the house, and two full bathrooms. The main floor's right side can be closed off to create a full apartment with a bedroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, closet, and bathroom. The lower level is a traditional English basement with high ceilings, a walk-out to the backyard, and hosts a full chef's kitchen, large dining room, studio/office/bedroom with a Pittsburgh Potty (toilet and sink), a large mudroom with the boiler, large sink, and cabinet storage. The chef's kitchen has a door out to the tuck-under garage and a door out the back hall to the fully enclosed three-season sunroom. The large backyard boasts a bevy of fruit trees (peaches, Asian pears, cherries, and seven kinds of apple), a large grapevine pergola, a paved patio area with a fire pit, and smoker, two large storage sheds, and beautiful landscaping. Also off the backyard are five additional parking spaces and a large 512 sq ft workshop and a half bath. Fully heated and airconditioned. New roofs in 2020. New siding in 2021 and 2022.
