    Welcome to 3970 McDonald Street Nestled in the heart of the highly sought-after Tower Grove South neighborhood, this charming home offers the perfect blend of classic character and modern convenience. Built in 1939, the home is a beautiful example of mid-20th century American architecture with distinct Tudor Revival influences—most notably the steep, front-facing gable with elegant curved trim that frames the inviting entryway.

The generously sized kitchen is ideal for cooking, hosting, and everyday dining. A detached garage adds both parking convenience and additional storage space.
