12 Brentmoor Park, Clayton, MO Featured as One of the 10 Most Beautiful House In St. Louis AT HOME Magazine

Everyone was so nervous when 12 Brentmoor Park went on the market early in 2010. The house was gutted and ripe to be torn down. A sigh of relief went out when we found out a stylish couple bought the house and planned to turn it into a mid-century contemporary masterpiece. Morton May must be smiling!
