from the homeowner | If you’re looking for the perfect retreat, look no further than 1290 Dry Ridge Road. From gorgeous green spaces and a pool to a top-of-the-line theater and spa, this Town and Country property features amenities the entire family can enjoy. The current homeowner notes that it has been the perfect location to raise their four children. Now, the one-of-a-kind property is ready to welcome a new family.

What attracted you to the property?
I was born and raised in St. Louis, and I’ve been in the West County area for two decades. We were looking for a new home to grow our family in. This property gives you great access to schools, the highways and more, but it is still secluded. We didn’t have to worry about the kids playing near busy streets, and it offers privacy, which has been a benefit.

Tell me about the outdoor spaces.
We have a nice long driveway, which adds to the privacy. The front of the house looks amazing when you’re pulling up. There’s a great pool area that includes a poolhouse, and a lot of green space for kids to move around and play.

What are some standout features of the home?
Just the space. We raised four kids in this home. On the lower level, there’s a theater, game room and wine cellar. There’s a fitness space and massage room. It really has all the amenities. There’s no need to leave your house when this is what it offers.

Do you have a favorite room?
The main living room. The basement is a nice area set up for entertainment, but the main floor living room really allows you to stay connected with the rest of the house. I got to see the kids as they were coming and going. It’s been my favorite spot to be in.

How is the home for entertaining?
It’s great. The basement offers everything from television to arcade games, so it’s perfect for the kids and their friends. The adults can enjoy the flow between the interior and outdoor spaces, including the pool.

What would you like the next homeowners to know about the home?
This is a house that could be dropped in any major city across the country and fit in perfectly—whether it’s L.A., Miami or the Hamptons. One of the most important features is the privacy it affords you while still being part of a neighborhood.
