Property Description

Discover a Tower Grove East classic in this lovely 3 bedroom historic gem that offers 1870 sq feet PLUS garage/workshop, located a single idyllic block off of one of St Louis' most beloved parks. Before turning the front door key, you'll be admiring the gracious and deeply covered front porch, large enough to host lemonade for all neighborhood gatherings. Through the heavy glass and oak door, find an original spindle staircase and detail woodworked foyer opening to an elegant living room with a historic mantle, high ceilings, and a bank of original wood trimmed windows. An elegant opening leads into the dining room with impeccable stained glass, a second fireplace, and an elegant and stately chandelier. From here, join the chef in a smartly updated kitchen blending original charm with full function via the large butler's pantry, upscale stainless appliances and a breakfast bar for morning coffee. Upstairs you'll find a front bedroom that is sun-drenched and spacious, and offers surprisingly deep storage. The large, rear covered-porch off a second gracious bedroom offers private escape into the tree canopy and lovely west-facing views. The third bedroom promises a comfortable office or cozy spot for a sound night's sleep. The bathroom is large, and features a separate shower, large pedestal sink, and stately soaking tub. The private back yard is fully fenced and landscaped with mature perennial plantings, and a THIRD covered outdoor space with ceiling fan suggesting summer evening dinners in the garden. The garage was built with parking space AND projects in mind, with surprisingly high ceilings, skylights, and a potting counter. This beautiful home is not only loaded with a great flow and charm, but exemplifies years of careful tending that is a rare find in today's market; a newer roof and gutters on both house and garage, newer and well-maintained hvac, a recently poured front porch and walkway, custom-built storm windows and screen doors, a smartly updated kitchen, and a dry basement with sump system.
