For the first time since its construction, this custom luxury residence is open to the market. Built as the personal masterpiece of the original developer of Lovers Lane Acres, the estate has changed hands only once—via a private, off-market transaction in 1968 to a close professional colleague. Lovingly preserved by… Read More that family for 58 years, the children are now passing on this irreplaceable piece of St. Joseph history.
The home sits on Lindenwood Lane, a highly desirable location right off Lovers Lane. Tucked away on a rare 1.72-acre sanctuary within city limits, the estate is fully integrated with nature, offering unmatched year-round beauty, serenity, and complete country-like privacy. In fact, a doe and her two fawns make their home in the woods behind the house—a spectacular sight when looking out the windows or sitting on the balcony.
The home features commercial-grade double-brick construction, providing incredible structural integrity, superior energy efficiency, and deep window casings throughout. Designed with an intentional focus on natural light and the rolling, timbered grounds, the architectural layout is integrated with nature. The home features five spacious bedrooms, and remarkably, each one is a "corner bedroom" boasting dual-aspect views in two directions. This ensures every room is flooded with morning light and peaceful vistas.
The interior flow connects seamlessly to the outdoors, featuring three distinct outdoor living areas: two patios and a commanding 30-foot balcony overlooking the grounds—perfect for morning coffee or twilight entertaining amidst serene silence.
The bright walk-out Lower Level beautifully mirrors this connection to the outdoors. It features a large, fully finished recreation area centered around a cozy fireplace. Flanked by two large casement windows, it steps directly onto a 6'x30' sheltered terrace tucked into the landscape beneath the balcony. This level also includes a built-in workshop and plenty of storage. Read Less
