This house was built for Lewis Dozier, a commercial baker whose business became part of Nabisco. Mr. Dozier, a member of several social clubs, loved to entertain, and his house has a basement-level ballroom and a second-floor musician’s gallery. The sellers, who bought the house in 1996, have spent decades restoring it to its original glory, repairing and refinishing woodwork and plaster, and replacing the electrical and HVAC systems, as well as the roof.

The property is across the street from Forest Park, which has more than 1,300 acres of green space and is home to the Saint Louis Zoo and the Saint Louis Art Museum. Driving to downtown St. Louis takes about 15 minutes. St. Louis Lambert International Airport is about 20 minutes away.

Size: 12,847 square feet

Price per square foot: $156

Indoors: Wide steps rise from the street to the main entrance, where glass doors open into a vestibule. From there, another pair of doors opens into a grand, wood-paneled foyer with a fireplace flanked by built-in bench seats.

To the right is a parlor with original plasterwork, tall windows and another fireplace. To the left is a wood-paneled library with a fireplace. A dining room with yet another fireplace and a crystal chandelier that once hung in a St. Louis hotel can be reached from the library or the foyer.

Off one side of the dining room are a sunroom, a powder room and a hallway that leads to the outdoor pool. Off the other side is an updated kitchen with a vintage-style enamel range and several pantries. A full bathroom, the back staircase and an elevator are also in this part of the house.

From the foyer, an ornate staircase with its original banister leads to five bedrooms on the second floor. To the right of the landing are two bedrooms that serve as one large primary suite, each with a fireplace and an attached bathroom with original stained-glass windows. The other three bedrooms on this level share another windowed bathroom.
