Located in the Fox Park Neighborhood, this historic building is uniquely located in both the Federal and St. Louis City Historic Districts. In fact, the historic value of this building was documented and utilized to determine these designations. With its private location set so far back from the street, this could be an easy house to miss. DON’T. You’ll know why the emphasis when you visit. Stories abound—from: - the marble and granite kitchen and bathroom floor that came from the old St. Vincent’s Asylum that is now a part of the University of Missouri in Normandy, to - the open floor plan that is created with pecan tongue and groove flooring that was salvaged from a warehouse razed on Washington Avenue at 10th Street, to - the solid brass ceiling fan from the Missouri Historical Museum, to - a turned staircase from a turn of the century farmhouse just north of Effingham, IL, to - green and white porcelain light fixtures from a warehouse on St. Louis Avenue, to - thresholds made from pieces of marble mantels, to - molding, doors, a huge clawfoot tub, and on and on. With a cast iron fence from Union Station across the 50 foot frontage, this home sits all the way to the back of the 125 foot lot. Having raised three boys here, the owners transformed the lot over the years from the site of a large play structure, to a neighborhood soccer field, and now an urban shade garden, complete with a stone firepit, gazebo and koi pond. Quiet mornings with a cup of tea or coffee on the second floor ‘New Orleans’ style porch have always been a must! Oh, and yes. On the first floor are two large open-floor plan rooms, a third room addition (it could be ?), plus a laundry, full bath, and a ‘furnace room’ with ample room for tools. On the second floor there are four rooms and a huge full bath. The owners used the 'bedrooms' upstairs for different purposes over the years. Most recently, the 18'X32' room was the upstairs family room and another bedroom was an office. Roam about and see how you would live here! There are three large commissioned art glass windows--a series of three on the first floor and two interior art glass windows on the 2nd. Two of the bedrooms and the 2nd floor bath have large skylights. Closets abound.
