Step into one of Frontenac’s most iconic entertaining homes — 10 Vouga Lane — where timeless design meets unforgettable gatherings. Nestled on one of Frontenac's most desirable streets, this mid-century modern masterpiece was originally built in 1959 with a singular vision: to host, impress, and bring people together. Every inch of this 3,800 sq ft residence reflects that legacy, blending architectural artistry with modern luxury. The interior has been updated in a way that preserves the home's uniqueness while meeting the needs of today's lifestyle. Inside, striking custom woodwork and handcrafted doors serve as functional pieces of art, complemented by professionally designed interiors and furnishings that elevate every space. The expansive two-story great room sets the tone for entertaining, offering a seamless flow to the dining room and outdoor patio, anchored by built-in bourbon and wine bars. The fully updated chef’s kitchen is equally impressive, featuring an 8-burner Viking range, Viking warming drawer, and a Chicago Brick Oven wood-fired pizza oven — perfect for hosting intimate dinners or large gatherings alike. Note that the kitchen was awarded the 2023 Kitchen Remodel project of the year by the St. Louis Home Builders Association (HBA) in 2023. Each of the three bedrooms is thoughtfully designed with its own private ensuite, including two oversized upper-level suites that provide both comfort and privacy. Throughout the home, rare and exquisite details can be found, including antique wood carvings and one-of-a-kind Sherle Wagner brass and 24-karat gold leaf fixtures that add a layer of refined luxury. Outdoors, the property unfolds across more than an acre of beautifully designed grounds, where a large patio invites both relaxed evenings and lively entertaining. The custom pool and spa area creates a resort-like experience, complete with a weatherproof TV and Sonance surround sound system. A fully equipped Mont Alpi outdoor kitchen enhances the space further, offering a gas grill, refrigerator, and three-tap kegerator for effortless hosting. This is more than a home — it’s a destination. A place where memories are made, celebrations come to life, and a legacy of entertaining continues.
