Property Description

There's something about this Richmond Heights home that just feels good from the start. Maybe it's the beautiful brick and stonework, the arched front entry, the mature landscaping or the way the house sits so comfortably in its setting - whatever it is, it has the kind of curb appeal that makes you want to come inside.And once you do, it feels like home.Hardwood floors, original glass doorknobs, beautiful windows and wonderful natural light give the house all the character you hope to find in an older St. Louis home. Fresh interior paint and some new blinds make everything feel clean and refreshed, while the details that give the home its personality are still very much intact.The main floor is easy and inviting, with a spacious family room, a true dining room and one of the sweetest little spaces in the house - a bright nook surrounded by windows that could become a breakfast spot, reading room, home office or simply your favorite place to sit with coffee in the morning. The updated kitchen connects to a charming mudroom wrapped in windows, complete with built-in storage and a lovely view of the backyard.Upstairs are three genuinely large bedrooms and two full baths, including a primary suite with an updated private bath. The additional bedrooms are spacious enough to be comfortable, flexible and useful - no tiny 'technically a bedroom spaces here.And the backyard may be one of the best surprises of all. Tucked behind mature trees and established landscaping, it feels private, green and peaceful. The secluded paver patio is the kind of place you can imagine lingering over dinner, having friends over or spending a quiet afternoon outside. There's a built-in gas grill, a raised garden bed and just enough landscaping to make the whole space feel like its own little retreat.A detached two-car garage provides excellent off-street parking, and the driveway includes a convenient pad for additional parking or easy turnaround. Street parking is also available, and the refrigerator, washer and dryer all stay.With three large bedrooms, 2.5 baths, wonderful original character, thoughtful updates and a backyard you'll actually want to use, this is the kind of home that feels comfortable the minute you walk through the door. Add a location close to Clayton, Maplewood and everything Richmond Heights has to offer, and it's easy to see why this one is worth seeing in person.
