Located in Belleville, Illinois – a town just outside of St. Louis, Missouri – is this fabulous warehouse that has been converted into a fun family home.
The building is deceiving – locals probably drive by it every day not knowing how cool this place is.
But if they could see beyond the privacy gates, they would know…
…how FABULOUS this place actually is!
So if you are looking for something super unique, this place is currently up for grabs!
It is listed at $425,000.
Come and have a look inside!
The building features 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms in 5,184 heated square feet.
Originally a wholesale grocer warehouse, this property has been transformed into a stylish and comfortable living space with a modern vibe.
The current owners clearly had fun with the place, but they were careful to leave a few of the original vintage elements of the building like the walk-in cast iron antique safe (pictured below).
The bulk of the main floor is arranged in an open-concept design.
There are just so many cool things about this place – fun surprises everywhere you look!
The Great Room includes ample dining space and a generous kitchen area with a huge island.
Off to one side is a family entertainment center.
Lots of room for books in the massive built-in bookshelf. But current owners are apparently more interested in ceramic piggy sculptures!
The main floor’s rear area is unfinished and used as an artist’s studio & garage.
If you count the unheated space in this building, there is actually a total of 13,200 sq ft!
Another really cool feature: the original freight elevator that still works!
Now have a look at the upper floor…
The top level has 4 bedrooms, another enormous living/entertaining area, a secondary kitchen, and a large unfinished storage area in the back.
The flooring up here looks to be… shellacked particle board?
There are definitely some creative uses of both space and materials in this unorthodox abode.
Check out the bedrooms…
How awesome would it be to live here as a kid?
Pictured below is one of the 2 bathrooms.
And check out this bonus room:
At the far end is a secondary kitchen with gorgeous original cabinets!
And beyond the finished area, there’s all this bonus space…
As amazing as the interior is, you must have a closer look at the enclosed yard.
Feel like you are on vacation in your own backyard!
Perhaps the most surprising element on this property is the new inground saltwater pool!
Such an unexpected and hidden gem in plain sight in this unassuming mid-western town!
