This landmark home was designed by A.L Aydelott as his personal home. The unusual hyperbolic paraboloid roof is supported at each corner, at the ground, leaving the interior free of structural constraint so the ceilings can soar. Owned by the same family since 1980, its extensive woodwork—ceilings, walls, windows—is remarkably preserved. Important original finishes like terrazzo and brick floors and tile backsplash remain in excellent condition. The bedroom carpet and kitchen floor are new and in keeping with Aydelott's vision.
Along with generous entertaining spaces, the main house has a spacious primary suite, guest room, and a lofted den with fireplace. The spacious primary suite has one and a half bathrooms and a private patio as well as built-in drawers and of course, a vaulted ceiling. The original steel pergola was enclosed to create the sunny breakfast room, and add additional kitchen and pantry space. Custom cabinetry in the sun room was designed to mirror the original St Charles kitchen cabinets.
The guest house was Aydelott's home office and has been expanded to encompass a bedroom, bath, kitchen, dining room, and living room with private patio and access to the pool.
Explore the extensive landscaped grounds with brick walkways, multiple patios, a pool, pergola, fountain, specimen trees, and mature plantings. The full circle drive allows guests to park near the front door while residents can pull through to the large carport near the kitchen and guest house doors.
Ideally situated in Pidgeon Estates, surrounded by other beautiful homes, and convenient for shopping, dining, and schools, this home is a landmark you must see for yourself.
