728 Hutchins Drive

A truly exceptional example of St. Louis mid-century modern architecture, this beautifully renovated Ridgewood home was designed and built by the celebrated duo of architect Ralph Fournier and builder Burton Duenke. Thoughtfully reimagined while honoring its original California ranch character, the home combines warm, organic materials, beautiful proportions and authentic MCM design with the comfort and function of a thoroughly modern renovation. A reconfigured floor plan creates an effortless connection between the main living spaces and the expansive family room, while a second living area offers flexibility for relaxing or entertaining. Nearly every element has been addressed, including new hardwood flooring, complete electrical rewiring and upgraded panel, plumbing improvements, HVAC u pgrades, insulation, drywall and paint, replacement of nearly all windows, new lighting and ceiling fans, and new doors, freshly stained in a warm wood tone. Newer roof ('21), water heater ('20) and HVAC ('15). The great room is a showstopper, with clerestory windows, vaulted ceiling, a dramatic fireplace and abundant natural light. The stunning new kitchen features custom cabinetry, marble and quartz countertops, new appliances and a striking tile backsplash, with the newer refrigerator included. The two beautifully designed baths feature large-format terrazzo tile and thoughtfully selected custom finishes, including a newly added second bath that enhances the home’s functionality. The spacious laundry room is equally impressive, with beautiful terrazzo tile flooring and a brand-new washer and dryer included. The family room features a custom dry bar with quartz countertop, tile backsplash and dedicated outlet for a beverage refrigerator, plus a wall of windows overlooking the level, fenced backyard with a nice patio and refreshed garden beds. Two EV chargers and additional storage are located in the carport. An exceptional renovation that respects the architecture while making the home even better for today. This is MCM done right!
