Property Description
Perfectly positioned in the heart of historic Lafayette Square, this breathtaking 3-story Painted Lady is the perfect blend of timeless architecture and modern luxury. More than just a home, this is a lifestyle—one filled with walkable streets, vibrant small businesses, charming cafes, neighborhood events, and the undeniable joy of pulling up each day to one of St. Louis' most iconic and beloved communities.
Lovingly restored and thoughtfully modernized over the past 25 years, this 3-bedroom, 4-bath residence showcases extraordinary historic detail at every turn—stunning dual front doors with blown colored glass accents, soaring 11-foot ceilings, five exquisite mantles, 8-inch baseboards, transoms, exposed brick, original carved wood banister, window seats, and even a rolling library ladder. Rich character seamlessly blends with today's conveniences, creating spaces that feel both elegant and inviting.
The grand front living and dining rooms are anchored by two gas fireplaces and a custom wet bar featuring glass-front cabinetry, hidden spirits nook, under-cabinet lighting, granite countertops, and beverage refrigerator—perfect for entertaining. The updated kitchen-hearth room offers custom cabinetry, breakfast bar seating, stainless steel appliances including a gas range, solid surface countertops, two oversized pantries, and beautiful views overlooking the private patio. Step outside to the most delightful cobblestone patio framed by mature shade trees, charming iron gates, and lush surroundings—your own private oasis in the heart of the city. A cozy family room nook and updated powder room complete the main level.
Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite feels like a private retreat with its own sitting area, two-story dressing room with custom closets, second-floor laundry, and a stunning RSI-remodeled bath featuring dual vanities, designer lighting, glass shower, custom tilework, and exceptional storage. The third floor offers an additional private suite with full bath, large walk-in closet, and direct access to the rooftop deck where sunset views create the perfect backdrop for morning coffee or evening gatherings.
Clean, spacious lower level offers endless storage and hobby space. Seller is also providing a Choice Home Warranty for added peace of mind. This truly special Lafayette Square home offers historic soul, modern comfort, and a one-of-a-kind lifestyle. Welcome home!
