Classic Kirkwood character, thoughtfully expanded for the way we live today. Set on a beautiful corner lot just blocks from the heart of Downtown Kirkwood, 400 N. Van Buren blends the charm of a 1925 home with the space, functionality and updates buyers are looking for. Inside, hardwood floors and timeless architectural details lead into a generous two-story addition designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining. The bright kitchen features white cabinetry, quartz countertops, a breakfast bar and an oversized walk-in pantry/mudroom, opening directly to the spacious family room—the kind of comfortable gathering space that quickly becomes the center of the home. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms and two full baths, including a flexible fourth bedroom currently configured as an office. Continue up to the finished attic for an unexpected bonus space perfect for a playroom, studio or creative retreat. The walk-out lower level adds even more versatility for movie nights, hobbies, a home gym or additional workspace. Outside, the home is equally ready to entertain with a designer patio and built-in outdoor cooking area. A detached two-car carriage-house-style garage offers excellent storage and workshop space, while its full second level presents exciting possibilities for future use. And then there’s the location. Just a few blocks from Downtown Kirkwood, Kirkwood Park and the schools, shops, restaurants and neighborhood traditions that make this community so beloved, 400 N. Van Buren is the rare Kirkwood home that delivers character, space and location in one very special package.
