NEW PRICE – $319,000! The sellers have decided to give selling one final push at this price before taking a step back from the market. Wondering about the time on market and price reductions? Feedback has been pretty consistent. Buyers at the higher price points loved the home but struggled with the smaller backyard and commercial property behind it. The price has been adjusted to better reflect those concerns, not because of problems with the house. There are no known outstanding repairs or issues beyond those disclosed. If those two things aren’t deal breakers for you, this could be a great opportunity to get a wonderful home at a much better price!
This home has so much of the character people come here looking for: hardwood floors, stained glass, arched openings, decorative columns, crown molding, and a fireplace that gives the living room a warm, inviting feel. Fresh paint throughout brightens the home and lets those original details take center stage.
The kitchen is solid and functional with granite countertops, wood cabinets, and plenty of opportunity to make updates over time without sacrificing character. Downstairs, there’s additional space ready for whatever fits your lifestyle—a home office, workout room, hobby space, or maybe the classic South City basement rec room. Throw down an area rug, bring that old couch you’re not quite ready to part with, hang a TV, and you’ve got the perfect spot to watch the game, host friends, or just spread out a little.
One of my favorite (of many) little details is the extra-wide staircase leading upstairs. If you’ve ever wrestled a mattress or sofa up the narrow staircase of an older home, you’ll appreciate what a difference that makes on moving day.
Outside, the multi-level deck gives you plenty of room to relax, grill, or entertain. One section is covered, making it the perfect place to sit with a cup of coffee and watch one of those Midwest storms roll in. The yard is intentionally low-maintenance, so you’ll spend less time mowing and more time enjoying your weekends. You’ll also appreciate the one-car garage, and if you have more than one vehicle, street parking is rarely, if ever, a problem. When winter weather rolls in, you’ll be glad you’re positioned on a street that’s easy to get in and out of.
Every home has something that isn’t perfect. Here, it’s the small commercial area behind the property, and that’s reflected in the price. For many buyers, the chance to own a character-filled home in St. Louis Hills at this price point makes that an easy trade off.
The best part about St. Louis Hills has never been trendy kitchens or designer finishes—it’s the neighborhood itself. It’s evening walks through Francis Park, summer concerts, neighborhood restaurants, and streets lined with homes that have stood the test of time. If that’s what you’ve been looking for, I think you’ll feel right at home here.
