Urban Oasis — A Gardener's Dream in Tower Grove South. Nestled just blocks from Tower Grove Park and one block from the vibrant Morganford Business District, this beautifully maintained historic home offers the perfect blend of timeless character and thoughtful modern updates in the heart of one of St. Louis's most beloved neighborhoods. A comprehensive remodel in 2022 included updated plumbing, electrical, HVAC, roof, and appliances—offering peace of mind, comfort, and reliability for years to come. Step inside and discover the irreplaceable craftsmanship that makes city homes like this so special: original mantels and decorative fireplaces, innovative pocket doors throughout (including a stunning original “tiger wood” pocket door), a striking stained-glass window, and gorgeous brickwork with a beautiful facade. The accent wall and alcove beneath the stairs add a designer touch. The updated eat-in kitchen offers direct access to a covered porch overlooking the spacious backyard—perfect for morning coffee, alfresco dinners, or unwinding after a long day. A remodeled downstairs half bath features charming tiles and a deluxe washer/dryer. Upstairs, generously sized bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests, or a home office, and the primary suite boasts its own private deck. Outside is where this property truly shines: enjoy the rare luxury of a double yard, a stained deck and balcony, and a covered two-car carport. The showstopper is a professionally designed native plant rain garden with approximately 140 native species (original planting map available). Old-growth walnut and maple trees provide mature shade, while a Japanese maple and Kwanzan cherry tree add seasonal color. Flourishing perennial gardens have been lovingly developed over the years, and a brand-new vegetable planter with organic soil is ready for your first harvest. Deluxe chicken coop is ready to welcome your future backyard flock. With unmatched walkability to Tower Grove Park, acclaimed restaurants, coffee shops, and neighborhood nightlife, this is a rare opportunity to enjoy classic St. Louis architecture paired with modern livability and an outdoor sanctuary all your own.
