Property Description
What if home felt like the place everyone else escapes to for the weekend? At 5589 Walnut Street, you can tumble out of bed—and instead of stumbling to the kitchen to pour yourself a cup of ambition just head to the Augusta Coffee Shop & Emporium for a cappuccino and warm homemade cinnamon roll which is literally right next door! Bringing the home confidently into the present, wait until you see the completely renovated gourmet kitchen with a generous center island, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a gas range and statement hood. The darling main-level bathroom has also been thoughtfully redesigned with new windows, tile flooring and a freestanding clawfoot tub—a fitting nod to the home’s history without sacrificing modern comfort. Prominently positioned on a nearly .40-acre corner setting, this exceptional brick residence has been part of Augusta’s story since 1880. Tall arched windows fill the rooms with natural light, while soaring 12-foot ceilings, substantial 18-inch walls, beautifully refinished wood floors, original millwork and a graceful curved staircase preserve the craftsmanship of another era. Six fireplaces add architectural character throughout the home; five currently contain coal inserts and offer the potential for conversion to wood-burning use. Extensive improvements include a metal roof, copper gutters, complete tuck-pointing, updated electrical wiring, refinished floors, wallpaper removal, fresh paint, new landscaping, and a new patio. A comprehensive improvement list is available. This is life in the heart of Augusta—America’s first federally designated wine region—where rolling hills, vineyards, festivals, live music and beloved holiday traditions bring the town to life, while peaceful mornings and star-filled evenings offer an entirely different pace. The Katy Trail is nearby, and an afternoon might include tea and homemade treats at Four Tulips, a tasting at Augusta Winery, music on the patio at Mount Pleasant Estates, dinner at Root Food + Wine, shopping at The Augusta Clothing Company or time to recharge at Halcyon Spa. Only about 45 minutes from St. Louis, this is more than an opportunity to own a historic home, it is a chance to live where other people come to slow down, reconnect and breathe a little deeper. Don't miss The Augusta Harvest Festival is this weekend! come by the OPEN HOUSE on Saturday the 19th from 11-2 and stay for the festival! Welcome to 5589 Walnut Street. Welcome to Augusta.
