Step inside fully renovated, 3237 California and you get the best of both worlds, historic St. Louis character with the updates and comfort that make a home easy to live in. Original hardwood floors and exposed brick immediately give the home a sense of warmth and character, while the updated systems and finishes take care of the modern-day details.
The kitchen is made for more than just grabbing a quick cup of coffee, with stainless steel appliances and plenty of room to cook, gather, and entertain. Throughout the home, recessed lighting and ceiling fans add to the comfortable, functional feel.
Upstairs, the primary suite opens onto a large private deck, creating a great spot to start the day or wind down in the evening. A second full-size deck and spacious backyard give you plenty of room to entertain, relax, and enjoy the warmer months.
The two-car garage-port is a rare city convenience, especially when the weather turns, and new major updates including the roof, windows, plumbing, electrical, sewer, and zoned heating and cooling mean many of the big-ticket items have already been addressed.
And then there's the location. You're just a short stroll from Benton Park, Antique Row, local restaurants, shops, and everything that makes living in this part of St. Louis feel distinctly urban and distinctly neighborhood-oriented. With easy access to major highways and Downtown, 3237 California puts you close to the action without giving up the comfort of having your own space.
It's a home with character, outdoor space, practical updates, and a location that lets you actually enjoy the city.
