Contemporary, Modern, Ranch

There are homes, and then there are homes with a story. Welcome to 9733 Fall Ridge Trail in the heart of Sunset Hills—an extraordinary custom residence built in 1979 by renowned builder Don Jones as his personal home while developing this distinguished street. Crafted without compromise and designed to showcase the finest materials and craftsmanship of its era, this property stands as a rare opportunity to own a piece of architectural history. Unlike so many homes that have been stripped of their character in pursuit of trends, this residence has been lovingly preserved, celebrated, and cared for through the decades. From reclaimed Chicago brick to the remarkable millwork, custom trim, accent walls, and thoughtfully designed living spaces, every detail reflects a level of quality and pride that is increasingly difficult to find. With more than 4,500 square feet of living space, this remarkable residence offers room to gather, entertain, and create lasting memories. The main level alone spans over 2,500 square feet and features four bedrooms, three full baths, and one half bath. The dramatic sunken living room serves as the heart of the home, anchored by an impressive oversized fireplace and firebox that creates a sense of warmth, elegance, and timeless sophistication. A custom wet bar showcases reclaimed tile salvaged from a beloved local landmark restaurant, creating a one-of-a-kind conversation piece and adding another layer of St. Louis history to this exceptional home. The original kitchen remains a testament to exceptional craftsmanship, complete with an indoor grill, abundant cabinetry, and a spacious breakfast area designed for gathering and conversation. While many kitchens of this era have disappeared, this one remains beautifully preserved, reflecting a time when homes were built with permanence and purpose. Outdoor living is equally impressive. A soaring vaulted covered patio overlooks the in-ground pool and private backyard retreat, creating an ideal setting for everything from quiet mornings to large-scale entertaining. The walkout lower level adds valuable flexibility with an expansive recreation area, kitchenette, full bath, private bedroom, and separate entrance—well suited for guests, multigenerational living, or extended stays while maintaining privacy and independence. Practicality accompanies the home's beauty. Main-floor laundry provides everyday convenience, while the oversized two-car garage features exceptional ceiling height capable of accommodating vehicle lifts, creating potential storage for up to four vehicles. For decades, this remarkable residence was cherished by a retired commercial pilot with more than 34,000 hours in the skies and a devoted mother whose legacy lives on through her children and grandchildren. Their thoughtful stewardship preserved the home's original vision and integrity, a level of care that remains evident throughout. Today, a new owner has the opportunity to become the next custodian of this truly special property. 9733 Fall Ridge Trail is more than a home, it is a legacy. A home where reclaimed materials tell stories, craftsmanship has stood the test of time, and thoughtful design continues to serve modern living. In an era where originality is increasingly rare, this is an opportunity to own a residence that celebrates authenticity, architectural significance, and the enduring beauty of a home built to be remembered.
