Property Description

Nestled on a rare double lot in the heart of historic Lafayette Square, this exceptional 3+ bedroom home beautifully blends timeless architecture, natural beauty, and modern livability. A wrought-iron gated fence welcomes you to the second lot/side yard (50 x 122), featuring a brick-paver patio, electronic gated parking, and exceptional privacy. Just steps from picturesque Lafayette Park, neighborhood coffee shops, restaurants, and local favorites, this is truly one of St. Louis' most walkable and sought-after communities. Rich in historic charm, the home showcases five fireplaces, a grand double-door parlor entrance, soaring ceilings, original refinished hardwood floors, elegant pocket doors, and custom interior shutters. The impressive entry foyer features an original inset mirror and opens to formal living and dining rooms, each with working pocket doors and two of the five fireplaces. A spacious family room with a third fireplace flows into the beautifully updated kitchen with a walk-in pantry. A convenient guest powder room completes the main level. The sweeping original staircase extends to the 3rd floor. The 2nd floor features three spacious bedrooms, a full hall bath, and convenient laundry. The generous primary suite includes a walk-in closet and private access to the third floor—an exclusive retreat featuring a luxurious spa-inspired bath with soaking tub and walk-in shower, an additional walk-in closet, and a private office, library, or 4th bedroom. Outside, the rare double lot provides exceptional space, privacy, and flexibility in the heart of the city. This remarkable Lafayette Square residence offers an extraordinary combination of historic character, thoughtful updates, generous living spaces, and an enviable location. Truly special and offering so much more to discover—this is a home you won't want to miss!
