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, flanked by 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 bright 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 light-toned wood cabinets. The kitchen opens to a teak wood deck, featuring a privacy screen and built-in gas grill, ready for relaxing, and entertaining. The exterior doorway and grill are set into a beautiful stone surround.
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 via the remote-controlled gate.
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 happy hour, Saturday & Sunday, August 29-30, 1-3.

Need to house a crowd and willing to add sweat equity? This is a great space, over 1900sf, in a stately old brick home with five bedrooms and two full baths. The hardest, mostly unseen, work is completed cleanly - new electrical panels and wiring, plumbing, hot water heater, drywall as needed, and some new windows. It is cleared and ready for someone to add HVAC systems (new set up in place), finish baths and kitchen, pick your paint, and make it pretty again. Original hardwood floors and beautiful old wood trim are present in most rooms.
Beautiful covered brick front porch is large enough to add a couple of chairs on the vintage tiled space to watch the world go by. A large front door opens to a spacious center entry foyer on the main floor. Large columns flank the wide opening to the living room where a mirrored fireplace mantel highlights the intact beautiful vintage tile surround. Opposite that room, pocket doors open to expose another large room, this one with another mirror mantel and brick fireplace. The kitchen is large with canned lights installed in the new ceiling. It does require all cabinetry and finishes. A large back room, also separated by pocket doors, serves as a main floor bedroom. (There are five doorways serviced by pocket doors!) Bathroom has new tub, only. Lots of windows pour light into all of these spaces.
From the kitchen, climb the staircase to the 2nd floor to find four bedrooms which share a hall bathroom, set with shower area. Some rooms have dormer areas or angled walls adding little cubbies and architectural interest. Again, windows keeps the rooms light and bright.
The back porch leads to a large and level yard, fenced.
Laundry hookup in basement.
The home is cross-listed as a two family duplex. Listing #26066264

Large columns flank the wide opening to the living room where a mirrored fireplace mantel highlights intact beautiful vintage tile surround.
