from the homeowners | Tucked away in an exclusive Wildwood subdivision, 1841 Kehrs Mill Road provides the atmosphere of a private retreat, but current owner Yvonne Cordell says the property is just minutes away from all Chesterfield Valley has to offer. “The home is more than 5 acres, so the property feels secluded,” she notes. “But you’re still in a subdivision with neighbors, and you’re a short drive from shops, restaurants and schools.” She and her husband are downsizing and moving closer to the city to be near their adult children, and they’re ready to pass the unique property to a new family.
What is convenient about the home’s location?
We really like the easy access to Clarkson Road and Highway 40. It’s also great if you like the outdoors. You’re close to the Katy Trail, and you can get to Castlewood State Park and all of the Chesterfield city parks. Every home in the neighborhood is on at least one acre, so they are spaced out well. The backyard overlooks the subdivision’s lake, and there’s a great view of the fountain.
How did you renovate the house?
When we bought the home, it was two stories with an unfinished basement, which we finished. We also took the opportunity to expand the home by building an addition that doubled the size of the house. It included a first-floor master suite, which means the home actually has two if you include the original on the second floor.
Tell me about the outdoor spaces.
There are outdoor terraces along the entire length of the house. We’ve had so many parties out there; you can easily accommodate 50 people on the patio. It’s well suited for entertaining. We put in steps down to the lake, and you can put chairs and benches along the path. We also added an outdoor fireplace. The lot is mostly flat, so it’s great for kids to play, and there’s space to add a pool if you’re interested.
What are some unique features?
I love the kitchen. It’s the best that a cook could hope for with high-end appliances and Rutt cabinets from Pennsylvania. There’s nothing that it doesn’t have, and it’s great for entertaining. There’s both a counter and island where people can sit and talk while you are cooking. The property also is gated, which you don’t find in Wildwood. It’s perfect for people who need privacy and security.
How is the home for hosting guests?
The lower level is perfect for overnight guests. It’s private, and they have their own wet bar, which is like a mini kitchen with a microwave, dishwasher and fridge. When my in-laws were building their house, they lived with us, and it was like they had their own home down there. We also added a two-bedroom, two-story garage apartment perfect for parents or adult children.
