Full of character and thoughtfully updated, this classic Cotswold-inspired cottage offers timeless style in one of Webster Groves’ most beloved neighborhoods. Set on a quiet street, the home enjoys a level, fenced backyard with beautiful landscaping and inviting outdoor living spaces- all steps from the neighborhood favorites Webster Groves is known for.
The interior is rich with original architectural details, including hardwood floors, graceful arched doorways, and a warm gas fireplace that anchors the living room. A spacious dining room is perfect for hosting family and friends and opens conveniently to the kitchen, where you’ll find quality appliances, a breakfast bar, tile flooring, and direct access to the backyard.
Outside, the cedar deck and brick patio create the perfect setting for morning coffee, summer dinners, or evenings around a fire pit, all overlooking the generous fenced yard. A main-level bedroom offers flexibility for guests, a home office, or additional living space. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms with ample closet space and storage. The walkout lower level provides abundant additional storage.
The location is just as appealing as the home itself. Enjoy an easy walk to the restaurants and boutiques of the Crossroads District, with Southwest Park, Freddie’s Market, Clark Elementary, and Hixson Middle School all just moments away. Combining storybook charm, functional living, and an exceptional location, this is a home you’ll love for years to come.
