Kingsbury Square is the newest addition to the 106 acre DeBaliviere Place development. The architectural design has earned the Homer Award for its uniqueness. It has all the amenities of new construction including energy saving features, and the nostalgic look of St. Louis World’s Fair housing.
5724 is a two-story condominium. The owners; Ronnie and Gary Mueller, have chosen warm earth tones and crisp color contrasts to create a lively but comfortable interior setting. They have blended well placed antiques with new and not so new furniture and other people’s throwaways transformed into nice accent pieces.
Dark parquet flooring gives a rich appearance to the entrance hall. A woodburning fireplace with an antique mirror hung above it is the focal point of the living room. Gary has built sturdy, rough wood shelving for the family books, games and audio system. Comfortable furniture and some plants give the room a “come and sit awhile” look.
The kitchen is streamlined for utility, but the wood tone cabinets and the greenhouse window make it forever cheerful and bright.
The kitchen and the dining room are separated by a doorway and a pass-through counter for convenient entertaining.
Upstairs the master bedroom is spacious and has a large walk-in closet, a pleasant bay window and a bath of its own. An antique pitcher and wash basin find an appropriate home on the roomy counter in the bathroom. The second floor also has a den with parquet flooring, a spare bedroom, much closet space and a second full bath. There’s plenty of room for a growing family inside the house.
Outside Ronnie and Gary can soon enjoy the park and common ground now being landscaped, tennis courts and a swimming pool. Their condominium reflects the life-style of people who love to relax at home or enjoy the conveniences and vitality of city living.
