About this home
Circa 1923. Rare opportunity to own an updated historic home on one of University City’s most distinguished blocks — steps from Washington University, the Delmar Loop’s cultural corridor, and minutes from Forest Park’s world-class museums and trails. With 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths across 3,181 sq. ft., this residence offers exceptional flexibility — a home office, a creative studio, a guest room, and still room to spare.
Well maintained and move-in ready, crown molding and plantation shutters throughout speak to the home’s enduring character, while professionally organized closets in every room reflect a thoughtful attention to livability. The spacious living room and gracious dining room invite quiet contemplation and effortless entertaining. A lovely sunroom off the dining room brings the outdoors in year-round.
The private primary suite features an en suite bath and its own sun-drenched sitting room — a retreat within a retreat. With an adjacent bedroom, the suite offers a natural opportunity to expand into a larger bath and walk-in closet while still leaving five bedrooms.
The basement stands apart from most historic homes in the neighborhood, with its 7-foot ceiling height and professionally stained concrete floor — a far cry from the typical historic basement. A sump pump provides added peace of mind.
Recent upgrades reflect years of careful stewardship: new roof on the home in 2026, new roof on the garage in 2023, windows replaced approximately eight years ago, a tankless water heater installed roughly eight years ago, a new dishwasher in 2025, a whole-house pressure regulator, and a pre-wired generator outlet. The fully fenced property — with a fence approximately two years old — features a sprinkler system and a two-car garage with an EV charging station.
University City’s walkable streets and thriving independent culture — along with a wonderfully active and welcoming block of neighbors — make this a home with room for every chapter of life.
