Property Description

Beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath University City home delivers the character everyone wants with the updates nobody wants to tackle. Inside, you'll find hardwood floors throughout, spacious living and dining areas, updated fixtures, and a cozy gas fireplace perfect for movie nights, snow days, or pretending you'll read that book you've been carrying around for six months. The custom-remodeled kitchen is the heart of the home, featuring custom cabinets, stone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and thoughtful finishes that make everything from weeknight dinners to weekend entertaining feel effortless. The upstairs bathroom has been completely reimagined with a stylish, modern renovation and features a double vanity and heated floors. Finished lower level offers additional living space and another renovated, full bathroom for when that friend from college or your mother-in-law (who genuinely means well) overstays their welcome. Outside is where this home really shines. The newer deck, screened-in porch, stamped concrete patio, and full-fenced backyard create the kind of indoor-outdoor living space that's hard to find. Enjoy morning coffee, neighborhood happy hours, kids chasing fireflies, grilling with friends, or the perfect escape from your family. The major systems have already been addressed with updated plumbing, thermal-efficient windows, a new electrical panel, new hot water heater, and an EV charger. Translation: less time on home projects and more time enjoying your weekends on aforementioned deck and patio. Located just minutes from Clayton, The Loop, Forest Park, and major highways, you'll have an easy commute and quick access to some of the region's best dining, parks, and entertainment. Character. Location. Updates. Does it get any better?
