    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. Inside, you'll find four spacious bedrooms, with two on the main floor and two upstairs, offering flexibility for families, guests, or home office needs. The generously sized kitchen is ideal for cooking, hosting, and everyday dining. A detached garage adds both parking convenience and additional storage space.

This is more than just a house—it’s a lifestyle in one of the city’s most vibrant communities.
