A home with history and charm, sitting on a manicured stretch of South Jefferson, this lovely 1942 Storybook Cottage Style home has been thoughtfully updated, respecting the architecture and detail of yesteryear. Stunning curb appeal is apparent the moment you approach with a covered front portico and matching dormers, a gracious drive on the south side of the home leads you through a carriage style carport to a private, secluded back yard, garden area, and additional covered parking. This home lends itself to lots of outdoor entertaining opportunities with a wood deck, enclosed storage area, and the abundance of paved parking- making this an easy place to gather. Timeless wood floors, cozy stone fireplace, beamwork, French doors, antique crystal door knobs, authentic Carrara marble countertops, and a built-in dining nook are just some of the interior finishes you will discover that reflect the classic era this home provides. The location is superb, one-half mile to Phelps Grove Park, less than a mile to the Wonders of Wildlife Aquarium, one mile to Missouri State University, and 1.5 miles to major medical. Large trees, sidewalks, and mature landscaping throughout the neighborhood make this location welcoming in all four seasons. Deciding on the top three features just might prove to be tough, but the kitchen with plentiful cabinetry, the mail being delivered to your stoop, or the well-planned mud room with bead board ceilings, wainscoting and stained glass details all compete fiercely. But, wait... perhaps the most enchanting space is found up the wooden staircase leading to a relaxing private suite with sitting area and built-in wardrobes and dresser. The ensuite bath is elegant and offers a graceful cast iron claw foot tub and antique vanity with vessel sink. Loaded with character, in a convenient location, this home is poised for new ownership.
