Circa 1951 Nestled on the winding streets of Webster Groves, this mid-century morsel was meticulously maintained. With thoughtful upgrades from bright white insulated windows and full roof replacement a handful of years ago, to a new plumbing stack and sewer lateral and even a newly poured patio for entertaining outback, the heavy lifting for this solid dwelling is buttoned up and ready to go for your finishes and touches. Classic mid-century elements remain, including original hardwood floors, wide banks of windows with marble sills and original bath tub, tile & fixtures. The galley kitchen is maximized for storage and function. Sunlight through its windows grace the bonus breakfast nook. Main level living with three bedrooms and large living area is ready for relaxing with family and friends. Outback is a recently poured patio for grilling and chilling and enjoying mother nature. Build a garden or create a space for play for children or pets. More upgrares in the basement make it prime for fully finishing to double the living space. Imagine a swanky lower lounge, office workout area or even a Zen den, the choice is yours and options are endless. Plus, there is still ample space for storage, house systems and laundry area. Recognized and awarded Webster schools, await as do the unique personality of the mom and pop shops, independent restaurants and entertainment and event venues. Ready for the next dweller to take the helm and take the keys. Here’s your chance to get your foot in the door, literally, of one of St. Louis‘ most cherished neighborhoods!
