Property Features

Welcome to a Home Unlike Any Other in St. Louis.

Welcome to a home unlike any other in St. Louis.

Château d’Art is the personal home and creative canvas of an American artist who spent years filling its rooms with original artwork, hand-painted murals, rich color, and unexpected details. Then life took her in an entirely new direction: she fell in love with France (and a Frenchman) and decided to make France her new home.

She couldn't bear to part with the St. Louis home she'd poured so much of herself into, so instead, she's sharing it with you.

🎨 Stay Inside a Living Gallery
This isn't a vacation rental designed to look interesting. It's the real home of an artist, and her work surrounds you in every room.

Throughout the home you'll discover the owner's original paintings, portraits, landscapes, collected pieces, hand-painted walls and murals.

And because no two rooms feel quite the same, exploring the house is part of the fun.

Whether you're planning a couples' getaway, girls' weekend, Cardinals game, concert, brewery weekend, or simply want somewhere memorable to stay while exploring St. Louis, Château d’Art gives you an experience you won't find at a hotel.

🏡 Living & Gathering Spaces
Spread across three levels, the home gives your group plenty of places to gather, and places to sneak away for a little quiet.

On the main level:
Colorful living room filled with original art
Main dining room surrounded by a hand-painted botanical mural
Full kitchen
Queen bedroom
Full bathroom with walk-in shower
Access to the private backyard

The second level offers:
King bedroom
Additional Sleeping room with two queen beds
Second kitchen
Breakfast table

🎬 Movie Loft + Private Office Loft
Head upstairs to a completely different side of Château d’Art.

One loft becomes your group's movie-night hideaway with:
Large projector screen
Oversized sectional seating
Board games
Space to stretch out and relax

A separate loft, reached by spiral staircase, provides a dedicated office with desk and computer monitor, perfect for anyone who needs to squeeze a little work into their getaway.

🍳 Two Kitchens + Dining Spaces
The main kitchen is fully equipped for everything from morning coffee and breakfast to dinner at home.

Upstairs, you'll find a second, smaller kitchen and breakfast area, a surprisingly convenient bonus when several adults are traveling together.

Whether you're cooking dinner or bringing home takeout from one of the neighborhood restaurants, there's plenty of room to settle in and stay awhile.
