A Missouri farmhouse with 14 acres and an indoor spiral slide
You know those homes that look completely traditional from the driveway, but then you get inside and find things you never expected? This place in Ellsinore is exactly that. It sits on 14 acres of land and has some of the coolest, most unexpected features hidden behind its white farmhouse exterior.
The first impression
From the road, it looks like a white farmhouse with a great front porch. It is simple, clean, and sits on a nice rise in the land.
When the sun goes down, the exterior lights turn on and make the whole place glow against the dark Missouri sky.
Around the side, you can see the attached garage space and the chimney stone that adds a little texture to the white siding.
The living room situation
The living room has some serious drama with that crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling. The stone fireplace goes all the way up, and those leather sofas are just waiting for a movie night.
Turn around and you see rows of glass French doors that open up to the rest of the main level, letting light bounce everywhere.
About that kitchen
This kitchen is massive. The wood floors keep all the white cabinets from feeling too cold, and there is enough counter space here to prep for a big party.
The island has a large slab of stone on top, and those pendant lights hanging over it look like pieces of geometric art.
The appliances are high-end, including a huge built-in refrigerator that blends right into the woodwork.
There is also a dark wood hutch built right into the wall to give you some contrast against all that white paint.
Yes, there is an indoor slide
Okay, here is the feature you probably didn’t see coming. Right next to the main staircase, there is a literal spiral slide that goes from the top floor down to the main level.
Imagine the kids waking up for school and just sliding down to breakfast. It is a pretty wild feature to have in a home.
Right tucked away under the stairs is this sweet little reading corner with low bookshelves and tiny chairs.
The sunroom and a fancy half bath
Off the main living area, this sunroom has a whole wall of windows that look out toward the pool. It is currently set up with long wooden tables, making it a great spot for casual dinners.
The view from these windows is basically just your own private forest and the pool deck.
Even the main level half bath has some personality with this patterned wallpaper and a console sink.
Where everyone sleeps
The primary bedroom keeps things simple with wood floors and pendant lights hanging down as bedside lamps.
The main bathroom has a double vanity with plenty of drawer space and two tall, framed mirrors.
There is also a soaking tub tucked away under another crystal chandelier for when you need to unwind.
Another bedroom is big enough to fit two beds comfortably, featuring a cool shiplap wall behind them.
The third bedroom has a framed mirror headboard and a grid of botanical art on the walls.
This bathroom has an industrial look with exposed plumbing under the sink and vintage-style light bulbs.
Hallways and cozy spots upstairs
The upstairs hallway has shiplap walls and is wide enough to double as a study space with a wooden desk.
The backyard setup
Moving outside, the back deck has a classic porch swing where you can sit and look out at the trees.
There is also a screened-in porch area that features a full outdoor kitchen, meaning you can grill without dealing with bugs.
The pool area is spectacular, complete with its own blue slide to match the one inside the house.
The lawn stretches out forever, especially around sunset when the sky turns orange behind the trees.
When you look at the property from above, you really get a sense of how much privacy those 14 acres give you.
