Benchmark Custom Homes presents this thoughtfully designed under construction custom 1.5-story home in the heart of Des Peres. Plans are in place and many selections have already been made, while still allowing flexibility to customize finishes and details. This proposed home offers approximately 3,443 sq ft above grade, featuring 5 bedrooms (optional 6th) and 4.5 baths (optional 5th), plus a 3-car side-entry garage on a 15,000 sq ft lot (100 x 150). The design showcases a spacious main-floor primary suite with vaulted ceiling, private deck access, and a spa-like bath with a large all-tile shower, multiple shower heads, and a window for natural light. A second main-floor bedroom or office with full bath adds flexibility. The vaulted great room features a striking drywall fireplace that tapers to the ceiling, flanked by elegant arched openings per plan. The oversized U-shaped chef’s kitchen includes professional-grade separate refrigerator/freezer, built-in oven, 36” cooktop, large quartz countertops with quartz backsplash and ledge, and a stunning oak hutch that sits flush on the countertop. A beautifully appointed butler’s pantry offers custom cabinetry, wine refrigerator, and an eye-catching arched glass pocket door. Quartz countertops are featured throughout the home, paired with Showplace custom cabinetry in designer colors and stains, along with engineered wood flooring throughout the main living areas and tile bathroom floors. Additional highlights include 8' main floor interior doors, an oversized mudroom with cubbies, a laundry room with cabinetry, folding counter, and slop sink, a large composite covered deck with optional screened deck and optional outdoor kitchen, walkout basement. Although this is a walkout, the site plan has been designed to accommodate a pool. Second-floor laundry, upstairs kids’ loft, generously sized bedrooms with walk-in closets, and optional finished lower level completes the design. Conveniently located steps away from the Des Peres Lodge, and just minutes from Des Peres Park, and West County Center along with convenient highway access.
