Traditional

Discover a true historic gem in this lovely Tower Grove East 3+ bedroom, 2 bath home boasting original architectural details blended with careful updates in all the places they matter. Be charmed at first glance with the great curb appeal of the recently tuckpointed brick facade, established perennial beds and freshly rebuilt front porch. At the swing of the front door you'll be further taken by the original, turned wood stairwell, high ceilings and great natural light pouring through louvered shutters and updated windows. Step onto impeccably maintained dark oak floors, and admire the decorative fireplace standing proud in a comfortable living room framed in original woodwork and crown molding. Through fully functional antique pocket doors you'll find an elegant dining room hung with a statement chandelier which highlights a space intimate enough for dinner for two, or sufficiently gracious to host Friendsgiving. The kitchen was recently refreshed with solid surface countertops, a modern mosaic backsplash and stainless appliances, lending great aesthetic appeal to excellent culinary function and storage. Out back you'll find a wide, level lot with an inviting brick patio that's privately tucked inside the fully fenced yard, while a generous parking pad with room enough for visiting guests is tucked out back. A first floor full bath with comfortable glass shower enclosure doubles as a great powder room. Elegant form and modern-day function continue up the stairs in the generous front bedroom that opens through an arched entry to a bonus reading, play or office space. A rear, primary bedroom offers a great closet and privacy for a leisurely book and Saturday breakfast in bed. The third, smaller bedroom offers even more opportunity for sleeping or office. Outside find an upper deck that suggests a sunrise coffee overlooking some of the loveliest architecture in the city, and the second floor full bath includes a combined shower and tub for a good, hot soak. Even the location is ideal, as the front steps lead to an easy stroll right into Tower Grove Park and all the surrounding restaurants, shops and bars; but with a home this comfortable you'll find yourself in no rush to leave. Call your favorite city savvy agent today, and come see all that Arkansas Ave has to offer!
