From the street you can tell this is not your traditional home. 

This story started in 1984 with the homebuilders Bill and Bea Doorack. Each had a great influence on their dream home.  Bill was a brick contractor and collector of architectural items. Bea was a real estate agent who wanted to design a home with features not commonly seen at that time. Bill took the lot as payment for work that he performed in the subdivision.  The timing was right.

This private lot, on the site of the old 14^th and 15^th tee at Crystal Lake Country Club, is where Bill would display his unusual collections. The all brick home has up to six different types of brick, including the driveway pavers. Many architectural items collected from various St. Louis buildings are incorporated into the façade including the 1938 stone entrance. This prize was saved from a chapel at St. Louis University.

Many collectable items were built into various rooms in the home, such as the old downtown Buder Building’s interior doors, that were put on their side and used as paneling in the kitchen’s hearth room, and the fireplace mantels. You will enjoy seeing all the treasures saved from the past and then blended into the modern floor plan. Bea had to have a first floor master suite and tall ceilings throughout, including the walkout lower level. Even the oversized, four-car garage has antique metal columns.

The current owners, Susan and Harry Bussmann, have lived here for 20 years. They have maintained the charm of this home, often making quality improvements when the occasion arose. There is a new roof, HVAC systems and a back wood deck made from Palo Pae Wood and stainless steel screws. The landscaping was designed for a more private experience through the use of berms and plantings. The freeform Baker pool has a California appeal with the various built in water features.

The subdivision where the home is located is well serviced. The concrete streets are maintained by Town & Country and everything you need is only minutes away. With easy access to Bopp Road through the private back gate, hospitals, private schools, Plaza Frontenac, West County Shopping Center, grocery stores and restaurants are all around. Located close to Highways 64 and 270, you are far enough away not to hear them.

This defines the term Location, Location.

This unique home awaits its next proud owner.
