Welcome to the Kyle-Essex-Gamble House, one of Kirkwood's gems, nestled on a lush .41-acre lot in the coveted North Taylor Historic District. Listed on both the National and Kirkwood Historic Registers, this 1861 estate seamlessly blends timeless architectural heritage with sophisticated, modern details. Passing through the gracious covered front porch, you are greeted by a light-filled center hall layout featuring soaring 9’+ ceilings, intricate historic millwork, and beautifully restored original hardwood floors. With its elegant fireplace, gorgeous windows, and built-in bookcases the living room has been adapted to provide the best of casual sophistication, with a stunning sunlit office/bonus room adjoining. The spacious dining room leads to a sublime screened porch, and a casual family room includes a wood-burning fireplace and walkout patio access. At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen has been thoughtfully updated to meet today's lifestyle, with custom cabinetry, exposed wood-beamed ceilings, and premium stainless-steel appliances. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a renovated primary bathroom and walk-in closet, with 3 additional bedrooms and a second full bath nearby. The front and back staircases, main level laundry, spacious 2-car garage, newer HVAC & roof add convenience, and the house includes a dry storage cellar. As an added treat, this historic home is nestled on a jaw-dropping lot, with a newer pool and pool deck, patio and pergola, and professionally landscaped, fenced yard and gardens.
