from the agents | In many home searches, the chance to even look at a newly constructed property doesn’t arise. That’s what makes 21 Dartford Ave. such a rare opportunity. The property, which is being built on a double lot in Clayton, offers potential homeowners the chance to be the first to turn the house into a home. Listing agent Wayne Norwood offers insight into what makes this Slavin Homes project a can’t miss.

Why consider new construction?
Everything is updated and fresh. You get to be the first one to use it all. New construction allows for the most cutting-edge technology, so the home is easy to manage thanks to state-of-the-art components. There’s a tangible wow factor that is not just about looks—it’s in the make of the house. Your guests are going to go home and look at their houses differently after visiting yours.

What are the benefits of the location?
Wydown Boulevard is the main thoroughfare of Clayton. It’s so picturesque and lovely. You have the Brentwood Park and Carrswold neighborhoods, which have beautiful older homes, and you always see joggers and cyclists out. Many homes in the area are on small lots, but this home is on a double lot. There’s room for an outdoor kitchen, pool and pool house—and you’d still have yard space for outdoor activities. It’s Ladue acreage with a Clayton location.

Tell me about Slavin Homes.
Bobby Slavin has an attention to detail you won’t find elsewhere. If you want the real story of a home’s construction, you also have to look at the unfinished spaces. With this home, every single air duct is wrapped and recessed into the ceiling. You’re only going to see that in around 1% of houses on the market. Slavin travels to other luxury markets like the Hamptons and Beverly Hills to get inspiration and brings that insight back to St. Louis to create exceptional properties.

What are some standout features?
This house checks every box for an executive home in Clayton. It has a three-car garage, main-floor primary suite, more than 10-foot ceilings and extra wide hallways. It’s built half a story up from street level, so it has an awe-inspiring appearance. It is a commanding property and truly fits the character of the neighborhood. The result of the unique features and quality construction is jaw-dropping.

What would you like the future homeowners to know about the property?
This is unlike any other house you’ll find in St. Louis, even other construction by Slavin Homes. It’s truly one-of-a-kind, and it could hold up in any major metro. This is a world-class property

“This one-of-a-kind Slavin build is off Clayton’s gold coast, Wydown Boulevard, with the absolute highest level of finishes.”
