Some homes are waiting for the right person to come along and bring them forward — and 68 Mar-El Court is exactly that. Situated on a rare 1.22-acre lot in the heart of Ellisville, this solid 1958 brick story-and-a-half has been lovingly held by one family for decades, and now it’s ready for a new caretaker with fresh eyes and a vision for what it can become.

The bones here are genuinely impressive. Classic construction, a 1,916 sq ft floor plan with 3 bedrooms upstairs and a flexible main-floor family room that easily functions as a 4th bedroom depending on how you live — this home adapts to your needs. The living room centers on a striking white brick fireplace surround flanked by a dramatic dark accent wall, a focal point that wouldn’t look out of place in a design magazine with the right furniture and finishing touches. The layout flows naturally, with a dining area off the kitchen and a bright enclosed porch that opens the home to the outdoors.

But the land is the story no other listing in this zip code can tell. A 1.22-acre lot running over 530 feet deep, framed by mature trees that create a private, peaceful setting unlike anything else in this corridor. Sounds like a lot of grass to cut, doesn’t it? Well, the Sellers will include a riding lawn mower with attachments to save you some money! In a market where most 63011 lots are measured in tenths of an acre, this property offers something buyers have been searching for and couldn’t find — room to breathe, room to play, room to build an outdoor living space worthy of a West County address.

This is an estate sale offered as-is. A rare opportunity — one of those moments where the right buyer gets both an address people want and the chance to build equity through their own vision. The next chapter for this home is wide open. Come write it.
