857 Heron Woods Dr, Ballwin, MO 63021

Meet Heron! He's a beautifully maintained 2-story offering nearly 2,600 square feet with 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a tandem 3-car garage tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in Manchester’s desirable Audubon Woods neighborhood and the highly sought-after Parkway School District. He has an impressive list of recent updates including: fresh neutral paint throughout, updated lighting, and extensive kitchen and bath improvements. Step inside to an expansive foyer where rich Brazilian cherry hardwood floors, abundant natural light, and custom millwork immediately set the tone. Formal living and dining rooms offer flexible spaces for entertaining or working from home, while the inviting family room features a gas-log fireplace with custom mantel, bay window, and crown moulding. Thoughtful architectural details throughout the home include chair rail and cornices, custom shelving, a garden window, half-moon windows, and a cathedral ceiling in the primary suite. The updated kitchen combines style and function with quartz countertops, an oversized single-bowl stainless steel sink, generous center island with seating, custom cabinetry, and brand-new stainless steel appliances. A thoughtfully designed mudroom provides additional storage and convenient access to the laundry room and tandem 3-car garage. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite feels like a private retreat with a cathedral ceiling, Brazilian cherry hardwood, sizable walk-in closet, and updated bath featuring new quartz-topped double vanities, walk-in shower, and Roman jetted soaking tub. Three additional generously sized bedrooms share an updated full bath. Outside may be one of the home's greatest surprises—a beautifully landscaped, fully fenced backyard oasis designed for gardeners and entertainers alike. Relax or gather with friends on the paver patio surrounded by mature landscaping, with an in-ground irrigation system helping keep everything looking its best. Major improvements add even more peace of mind, including a new water heater in 2026, A/C in 2024, furnace in 2023, and roof in 2015. The unfinished basement provides abundant storage today and a blank canvas for future living space. With its exceptional condition, extensive updates, distinctive craftsmanship, gorgeous outdoor setting, and sought-after Parkway location, this is a home that has been thoughtfully cared for and is ready for its next chapter.
