This is the view from 237 Huntleigh Crest Drive, St. Charles, MO.

Now, mind you, this is an exceptional view even for the Midwest, and it is what first attracted the current owners. It is a view of the Missouri River Valley and the Katy Trail. The current owners like to enjoy a glass of wine and this view from the gazebo that is on the side of their deck, thus protecting the views from three rooms across the back of the house – the breakfast room, the kitchen, and the family room. Wow!

The home is 18 years old and has been well attended to by the current owners. In other words, they did preventive maintenance over the years and also made improvements. Some of the improvements are the new hardwood floors that were installed in the foyer, kitchen, and breakfast room. Also, the kitchen was updated with granite counters and stainless appliances. The laundry room now has a ceramic tile floor, and the upstairs baths have new solid surface counters.

But saving the best improvement till last – the lower level has been partially finished. The current owners added a full bath and 3 finished rooms (still 2 large storage rooms). It is an excellent suite for a multi-generational family or, like they have used it, a getaway for the husband.

Katy Trail

As mentioned before, this home backs to the Katy Trail. The Katy Trail is a 237 mile path that stretches over most of Missouri. Motorized vehicles (except for battery-powered wheelchairs) are not allowed on the path. Over half of it follows the Lewis and Clark path along the Missouri River. After leaving the river, it meanders through small-town America. The trail is enjoyed by nature lovers, walkers, bicyclists, and history buffs. For more information, click here.
