This architecturally significant contemporary townhome rooted in the heart and center of Clayton Missouri presents open concept living at its finest! Replacing old world Clayton architecture with less exterior maintenance and more thought to modern life in the fast lane...3 levels of finished living space present a generous flow to this floor plan that extends to the maintenance free deck, gardens and 2 car garage. Walkability, convenience and common sense engineering's paths rarely cross...but in this exemplary example of an architect's vision you'll find tons of opportunities for peaceful living or abundant entertaining. Choose from cozy at home cooking to rambunctious holiday gatherings or treating your tribe to seated formal dining OR "game day" in the 400 sf lower level family room! Enter through the arched entry into the marble tiled foyer which spans to a generous hearth room with a smoked ember glass fireplace and generous built-ins for your library or collections. Follow the flow from living room and entry foyer back through the dining room into the cook's kitchen and its two adjoining casual rooms with tons of natural light and custom built cabinetry. Your resident chef won't be disappointed with stunning abundant storage, artistic granite counters, a Wolf Range plus no less consequential, the customary wine rack and beverage fridge/wine cooler. Through the convenient breakfast room you can step outside onto an expansive maintenance free deck shaded by trees, perennials and the home's soaring brick facade. Lazy afternoons in the shade with a beverage and a good book await you or a strategically placed lounger in the sun...your choice. A newly carpeted stairway or the wood paneled elevator will take you to the second level which includes the primary ensuite and two more en-suites. The primary bedroom features elegant tray ceilings and a generous wall of built-ins for hidden storage or display. "Mine and Yours" walk-in boutique display custom closets with everything you could ever want includes an adjacent dedicated bedroom level laundry suite. The primary master bathroom is a virtual whirlwind of spa and space...exquisite tiled surfaces, heated floors, multiple spray shower, luxury towel warmers, live edge granite...again with the "Mine and Yours" twin vanities. On the lower walk out level of this elegant city manse you'll find unlimited choices for the finished living spaces... another full bath and tons of utility and storage options. Ready and waiting for you and your entourage. 7718 Walinca Terrace offers a fresh new vision of "Home Sweet Home".
