Schedule your tour for this sought-after home in the highly desirable Princeton Heights neighborhood! This rare gem offers an incredible opportunity to join a vibrant, historic community known for its gorgeous early-20th-century architecture: Craftsman, Tudor revival, and “gingerbread” style homes line the tree-shaded streets. The surrounding neighborhood perfectly blends charm and convenience — imagine morning walks under leafy sycamores, coffee in hand, with the sound of friendly neighbors off in the distance. Whether you value peace and tradition or want to capitalize on St. Louis’s rising cultural energy, Princeton Heights delivers both. Residents benefit from easy access to downtown St. Louis (just about 8 miles) with major highways nearby—your commute is a breeze. But you won’t need to go far to feel immersed in city living. Here’s what makes the immediate area special: Salt + Smoke on Hampton Avenue, renowned for its St. Louis-style barbecue, brisket sandwiches, and local flare. Hatch’d STL, a favorite brunch spot offering inventive breakfast & lunch fare. Onesto, along with several charming cafe's, artisan ice cream shops (like Clementine’s), and local dessert places for those sweet cravings. Local favorites like J.J. Twigs (pizza, casual bites), El Michoacano Fruteria Y Neveria (for Mexican snacks + ice cream), Apollonia for Greek classics, and many more tucked along Gravois & Hampton. Parks, Outdoors & Recreation - Christy Park (~16+ acres) is right in the neighborhood. Playground, open green space, trails, the “Christy Greenway” connects you to larger trails including River des Peres Greenway and Carondelet Park. Perfect for morning jogs, dog walks, or lazy Sunday afternoons. Willmore Park, just a short distance away, offers over 100 acres of fields, fishing lakes, picnic shelters, tennis courts, and even a dog park. Francis Park, in nearby St. Louis Hills, grants more expansive green space: sports fields, playgrounds, courts. Great for weekends and family outings. Shopping & Local Amenities - An active commercial strip on Hampton Avenue, with specialty stores, neighborhood groceries (including ALDI), boutiques, vintage/record shops like Record Exchange and art studios. Hampton Village Shopping Center for more retail options. For everyday conveniences—groceries, markets, service shops—many are within very close proximity. Community & Lifestyle - A strong neighborhood association that organizes events: monthly meetings, neighborhood night-outs, block parties, and an annual picnic pull neighbors together and keep that small-town, friendly vibe alive. A sense of history and character: Princeton Heights was once farmland (known historically as Gardenville), now one of the city’s most picturesque residential neighborhoods. This home doesn’t just offer walls and windows — it gives you a place in a community that values tradition, character, and enjoying life. Don’t miss your chance to be part of Princeton Heights!
