Gracefully blending Mediterranean character with timeless elegance, this exceptional home welcomes you with a distinctive stucco exterior, classic red tile roof, and inviting front porch—perfect for lingering a while and greeting neighbors as they stroll by.
Step inside and prepare to be captivated by the dramatic soaring barrel-vaulted ceiling, handsome gas fireplace, stunning arched windows and stain glass that fill the space with natural light. A unique Juliet balcony overlooks this warm and inviting gathering space, creating an unforgettable setting for entertaining, relaxing, and celebrating special holiday moments.
The spacious dining room is designed for making memories, whether sharing a leisurely meal with friends or gathering around the table for game night. Adjacent, the thoughtfully planned kitchen offers custom cabinetry, stone countertops, and a convenient planning desk that serves as the household command center. A doorway leads to the wonderful shaded deck, extending the living space outdoors—ideal for morning coffee, getting lost in a good book, or dining alfresco. Beyond, beautifully manicured gardens create a lush and tranquil backdrop.
The flexible floor plan offers a wonderful main-level suite featuring charming built-ins, vaulted ceiling, an expansive window overlooking the gardens, and a private atrium door leading directly to the deck.

Ascend to the second floor, where two spacious bedrooms offer generous closet space, hardwood floors, and an abundance of character. French doors open to a delightful Juliet balcony overlooking the mature, treescape-lined neighborhood.
The converted garage adds valuable flexibility, with convenient rear entry and excellent storage space, a possible potting shed for gardening enthusiasts and those who appreciate a place for projects and outdoor essentials.
And then there is the location—truly key to this gem. Ideally positioned near all that University City has to offer and just steps from the Clayton hub of shops, restaurants, parks, and vibrant community life.
