About This Property

Steal this deal! A popular location near Clayton and Wash U, combined with 1926 craftsmanship, creates this desirable, charming, and functional home. Spacious, well-maintained, and thoughtfully updated, this three-bedroom, 3.5-bath home blends historic character with modern convenience. Architectural English Revival style mixes with touches of Gothic Revival at this clay tile-roofed brick and stone residence. Starting at the covered brick front porch and arched entry door, enter and soak in the comfortable spaces. Wood floors and crown molding stand out as natural light floods the rooms. Plantation shutters throughout the home protect your privacy and beautifully filter the sun on hot St Louis days. The living room features a brick fireplace, never used by current owner but appreciated for the focal point it provides, centered between arched built-in shelving. The dining room adjoins that space and is centered on the main floor. The West wing of the home is a newer addition, expanding the home with a huge, bright family room or entertaining space, as well as a glass-doored study/den/office/playroom. But, oh, the kitchen! L-shaped, it includes a built-in banquet seating area, wet bar, gas cooktop with gorgeous hood, double wall convection ovens, two sink areas, microwave, and refrigerator. It is a well-appointed large kitchen with granite counters and loads of beautiful wood cabinets. The kitchen opens to a teak wood deck, ready for grilling, relaxing, and entertaining. The exterior doorway here is enhanced by beautiful stone. Upstairs, two bedrooms and a full bath occupy the original home space. The addition added a large walk in closet area and primary suite with custom tiled bath. Again, windows and plantation shutters feature prominently, and vintage glass doorknobs add sparkle to the space with history and grace. The basement offers storage, a full bath, and two flex spaces, one with a wet bar, that can be tailored to your needs, perfect for entertaining, home gym, guest room, or additional living space. The walk-out lower level opens to the atrium, offering a versatile space to suit your wishes, and is serviced by a Split hvac system . The level backyard is surrounded by a beautiful, wrought-iron fence, and the detached brick garage offers secure parking with safe and easy side street access. For peace of mind, mechanical systems are newer and solid and the roof is in good condition. A Woods waterproofing install keeps the lower level dry and protected through the worst challenges of STL storms. Open houses scheduled Friday, August 28, 4-7, Saturday & Sunday, August 29-30, 1-3. Offers, if any, due by Noon on August 31.
