from the homeowner | 110 Lancaster Drive is built for a family. Nestled in Clayton Gardens, it’s in easy walking distance to schools, Shaw Park, restaurants and more. The current homeowner shared the property with her mother and sister, and their grown children and grandchildren often visited, filling the house with many happy memories. While she’s relocating to be closer to her grandchildren, she’s excited for a new family to enjoy the property.

What is the neighborhood like?
Clayton Gardens is a lovely neighborhood. Everyone takes pride in their property and is so nice. People always stop to talk with each other when passing, and children can safely walk to school. The neighborhood is also very walkable. If you head toward Ladue, you can access Colonial Marketplace or the Schnucks, or you can go south toward Clayton High School and the rec center. To the east, you have downtown Clayton, so you can access the post office, library and wonderful restaurants and shops.

Did you entertain often?
The home was built for entertaining. There’s a large dining room, and the family room is fantastic. It’s open to the kitchen, so people can gather at the counter or on the sofa and just spend time together. It’s also connected to the porch by sliding doors, so you can easily head outside. There is plenty of space for people to gather.

What are some standout features on the property?
We were warned that adequate closet space can be hard to come by in Clayton, but that’s not the case here. There’s also an elevator that goes to all three floors, which makes unloading groceries so much easier. The second floor has its own furnace and air conditioner, so it’s never too hot in summer or cold in winter. If you work from home, there are plenty of places that are perfect for an office.

Tell me about the outdoor spaces.
There’s a lot of backyard space, which you don’t always find in Clayton. We’re able to have space for both the dogs and kids to play outside. There also is enough room to have a nice container garden. The landscaping is beautiful. It has a lovely garden feeling, and you really have a sense of privacy.

What would you like the next homeowners to know?
It’s a place where we had a lot of good times. We did everything we could to leave the home so it was ready for the next family. My mother was a musician, so it was an artist’s home, filled with love. We hope that the next homeowners can feel that.
