About

Welcome to this beautifully renovated home in the desirable Tower Grove South neighborhood. Converted from a two-family into a single-family residence in 2019, this stately brick home offers an incredible sense of space rarely found in century-old city homes. From the moment you enter, you’ll be struck by how airy and open the home feels, with clear sight lines to the back of the house. Wide doorways and high ceilings create a sense of intentional design, enhancing the flow and spaciousness throughout. It offers the perfect blend of open-concept living while still preserving the charm and character that make this neighborhood so beloved. Situated on a corner lot, the home enjoys added privacy, abundant natural light through large windows, and custom window treatments throughout. Beautiful hardwood floors span the entire main level. The comfortable family room sits just off the open-concept, fully updated kitchen, creating a wonderful sense of connection. The kitchen features a large walk-in pantry, beautiful stone countertops with breakfast bar, and high-end stainless steel appliances. A fabulous wet bar flanks the dining room, making effortless entertaining a breeze. Upstairs, you’ll find three large bedrooms, each with generous closet space. The primary suite walks out to its own balcony/deck area and features a spacious, updated en suite bath with modern finishes. The unfinished lower level is a whopping 58’ x 20’, offering tremendous storage potential. Step out from the kitchen to your private, fully fenced backyard with covered patio. You’ll be hard pressed to choose between enjoying your morning coffee here or relaxing on the spacious front porch, greeting friends and neighbors as they pass by. A two-car detached garage at the rear of the property adds incredible convenience to city living—and both the home and garage feature brand new roofs installed in December 2025 for added peace of mind. This is a true gem in an amazing neighborhood, close to fantastic dining, shopping, parks, and nightlife.

With 2,200 square feet above grade, the layout offers four generous bedrooms and 2.5 baths, including two main-floor bedrooms and a second-floor addition housing a 17x24 primary suite, a second guest room, and an updated full bath with walk-in shower. A partially finished lower level adds another 560 square feet of flexible space. Out back, a fenced yard opens onto a stunning stone patio with a built-in grill, fire pit, and multiple seating areas beneath mature shade trees, plus wide-open sunset views across the double lot. An oversized attached garage and a driveway turnaround pad handle parking with room to spare. The list of improvements runs deep: new roof with gutter guards (2022), new first-floor hardwoods (2021), new guest bathroom (2023), built-in window coverings in the front room (2021), glass block basement windows (2024), an enclosed mudroom with new doors and walls (2024), plus updated windows, gutters, plumbing, and A/C. All of this in a walkable neighborhood just minutes from Forest Park, Maplewood, the Hill, and Highway 40/64. Historic charm, modern comfort, and a lot you won't find twice.
