Mid-century Ladue

Ladue is probably the best treasure-trove of quality mid-century finds in St. Louis.  All you need to do is find a ranch that has been lived in by its original owners and you are set.  Can't wait for the estate sale for this house! A little Brady Bunch, though fun!

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.

Upper Ladue Remembers

Here is a real niche book...Upper Ladue Remembers.  For those of you who are unfamiliar with Upper Ladue, it is a neighborhood in Ladue off of Ladue Road.  There are about 20 lovely homes on large lots on the street. I have not read it yet, though I hear it mentions my Uncle Ted (deceased before I was born). Someone interviewed in the book claims that he was the most handsome young man in the neighborhood.  My grandparents actually lived in a neighborhood the abutted Upper Ladue in the back of the street. 

Bernoudy Home for Sale- 935 Barnes Road, Ladue

This stunning Bernoudy home located on Barnes Road in Ladue is on the market for $1,549,000.  I have been through it a few months ago and thought it was wonderful.  The rooms feel more open with taller ceilings than many of the earlier Bernoudys.  This house is large with almost 7,000 of space.  The back of the 2 acre lot adjoins Emily Pulitzer's wooded estate. All this and an indoor pool!

7 Little Lane, Ladue

Last weekend I had the treat of going through 7 Little Lane.  This dynamic house was built by Eugene Mackey, Sr. for his own family in 1948. This home is perfectly placed on an acre of land that provides privacy and wonderful views from the large expanses of glass windows.  My pictures do not do it justice.
