from the homeowners | The owners of 2011 Kingspointe Drive say they were instantly attracted to the property situated near the Chesterfield Valley. Its main draw, they explain, is balance—it offers plenty of space without being overwhelming. “All of the lots in the neighborhood are at least 1 acre, so it’s private, but there’s still a sense of community,” says the homeowner, who lived in the house for 23 years with her husband. Now, they plan to downsize, butthey’re taking with them many happy memories made with their five children and 19 grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

Tell me about the outdoor space.
We added a number of amenities to the backyard, which includes a patio, pool and outdoor fireplace. We gathered there often with our large extended family. One thing we will miss is roasting marshmallows in the backyard with everyone.

What are some of your favorite features inside?
In addition to the one outdoors, there are three fireplaces inside the house. My husband is especially proud of the one in the great room. When we moved in, it was very contemporary with lots of marble. He put in an antique mantle to give it more of a traditional look. Another feature my husband and I enjoyed was the deck connected to the master bedroom. It became our spot to enjoy drinking our coffee in the morning.

How is the home set up for guests?
The way that the bedrooms are laid out in the house makes hosting guests easy and gives them their own space. The master bedroom is at one end on the main floor, while the guest bedrooms are at the other end of the second floor. These are accessible by a rear-entry staircase, which company can access directly. 

How is the house for entertaining?
Our family has had many good times here, including my husband’s recent 80th birthday. We celebrated lots of milestones in this house. It is a great home for entertaining. The large windows in the main living areas make it very bright, and people often comment on it. The lower level also features a billiards and gaming room. For larger groups, the circle driveway helps immensely with parking.
