New ListingCOMING SOON! Peaceful country living on nearly 14 level acres at the end of a quiet lane. This all-brick earth home offers 3,261 sq ft on one level, built with 2x6 construction and extra insulation for year-round comfort and low electric bills. Vaulted and coffered ceilings, an open floor plan, and a great room with a free-standing wood stove set the tone. The kitchen features an island, breakfast bar, custom cabinetry, pantry and solid surface counters. Durable 48" x 8" porcelain tile with a lifetime warranty runs through most of the home. The layout now includes 3 bedrooms plus an office, a fully permitted 2022 conversion supported by a new 1,500-gallon septic tank and expanded lateral lines. The primary suite offers a curbless roll-in shower, and the home also has a jetted tub. Recent updates include: newer roof, gutters, soffit and fascia on all three buildings (2025); Heil electric furnace, A/C and 16 SEER heat pump (2020) with a 12-year parts and compressor warranty and semi-annual service; well pump and bladder tank (2021); 50-gallon water heater, booster heater, water softener and filtration system (2023); and chimney tuckpointing (2026). Outside, enjoy a 1-acre stocked pond with a covered dock, mowed walking paths, open pasture, a horse barn, a covered patio, and a 50x40 detached garage/workshop with a circular drive. Enjoy the best of rural Franklin County, established in 1818 and named for founding father Benjamin Franklin. Open farmland and quiet country roads sit within easy reach of town, about 20 minutes to St. Clair, 30 minutes to Union and 70 minutes to downtown St. Louis. Nearby Meramec State Park and Robertsville State Park offer camping, fishing and floating on the scenic Meramec River, and local communities host fairs and festivals throughout the warmer months.
