About This Home

Some homes are pretty. Others give you confidence. This 1927 brick bungalow combines original character with many of the major improvements buyers hope they won't have to tackle after closing. Major improvements completed within the last year include a new roof, new furnace and air conditioner, new water heater, addition of a California-style 2-car garage, new front steps and sidewalk, exterior tuckpointing touch-ups, fresh sod, and a passed St. Louis City occupancy inspection. Unlike many renovations, the original character of this property remains front and center with refinished hardwood floors, a timeless fireplace, original doors, unique knobs, and architectural details that continue to make brick bungalows one of South City's most beloved home styles. Inside, the fully remodeled interior feels bright and fresh. Large windows fill the living spaces with natural light, and a sunroom overlooking the backyard provides additional space to relax, work, or unwind. The finished lower level offers flexibility rarely found in homes of this era. In addition to an oversized full bathroom, you'll find two bonus rooms ideal for a home office, gym, hobby room, playroom, guest space, or additional storage. The dedicated laundry room with finished walls and proper lighting is a feature many city homes simply don't offer. No more balancing laundry baskets in a dark, unfinished basement—or wondering if you should have brought a flashlight downstairs just to fold clothes. A mature tree, custom metal address plaque, fresh landscaping, and the newly added California-style garage create a beautiful & complete exterior from both the front & back view. Conveniently located near some of South City's favorite destinations, you can walk to dinner at Dos Reyes Mexican Restaurant or walk to coffee at Speakeasy Cafe. Enjoy easy access to Joseph R. Leisure Park, Christy Park, and Willmore Park, all located within two miles of the home. If you've been seeking a home that preserves St. Louis character while providing functional living space, walkability, and major completed improvements, this one deserves a closer look. It's a refreshing alternative to many of today's cookie-cutter renovations. P.S. All inactive knob-and-tube wiring was removed during renovation.
