Ladue 'Wow' House: Cottage In The Woods

LADUE, MO — This isn't just a house — it's an estate. It doesn't have guest rooms. It has guest quarters. Five bedrooms, seven full bathrooms and two half baths, an in-ground pool, and an indoor racket ball court — easily convertible to commercial-size movie theater or techno lounge, the agent says. An in-ground sprinkler system keeps your grounds lush and green. You'll be living in style, at least until the peasants decide to get their pitchforks.
