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 10-2 and stay for the festival! Welcome to 5589 Walnut Street. Welcome to Augusta.
