This Two story 2 bed/ 1.5 bath house turns 100 next year, but it's Brand New inside. You will be astounded at all the upgrades in this home. Everything is new… paint, carpet, windows, newer roof, bathroom and kitchen.
We have lived in the home 6 years and were in the middle of cosmetic updates when I received a job offer out of town that was too good to refuse. This is no flip - everything was done high quality for our comfortable living. So, we finished the updates and will never get to use them - but you will! This is a non-smoking home.
This house was appraised for $140,000 three years ago and that was before many of the updates had even been done. This is a deal beyond anything on the market today. We don't want to own a house 1500 miles away. And we don't like paying for two homes when we only live in one. Our friends who are appraisers say the house could appraise in the range of $160,000 to $175,000, if we just weren't in such a hurry.
FIRST FLOOR
The main floor is an architecturally impressive open floor plan. You can move easily between the entry, living room, dining room, kitchen and out to the back yard. There are beautiful wood laminate floors throughout the main level. In the living room you will find two of the three 100 year old stained glass windows. The large living room opens to a spacious dining room, which connects to the large kitchen and has its own door to the rear porch\sunroom which is perfect for the "kids table" or watching the sunset. Each room is separated by gorgeous archways. The kitchen is new with oversized maple cabinets, raised dishwasher and two-level counters with a recessed refrigerator. All appliances stay with the home. Off the kitchen is an enclosed back porch that steps down to the large back yard.
SECOND FLOOR
You will find brand new carpet as you ascend the steps to the second floor (very soft and silky, 15 year warrantee). On your way up the steps, notice the 3rd stained glass window. Upstairs, doors with classic glass knobs and skeleton keys (but modern locksets) add historic charm. Both of the home’s bedrooms are on the second floor and feature large closets and great windows. In the bathroom you will find brand new fixtures including a toilet, a modern pedestal sink and tub and shower combo with more shelves than anyone could need. A new linen closet is just outside the Bathroom door.
BASEMENT
There is a huge basement! The high efficiency heating and cooling system, the water heater and hook ups for washer and dryer are all here and will save you a fortune in utility bills. The coal room is cleaned and sealed and painted for additional storage and under the stairs is the original root cellar for storage of fresh picked or canned vegetables and fruits. The half bath is the perfect bathroom for the person who gets a little dirty at work or play. The toilet is all by itself in its own small room. The sink is across to the middle of the basement in line with the utilities. Screw on a handheld shower (there is already a floor drain) and you can throw your clothes into the washer before you head upstairs. No mud room is needed here, direct access from the back yard to the basement will mean less cleaning needed after a hard day of yard work or biking on the southern corridor bike path!
YARD/GARAGE
The house comes with a two car garage, large lawn space, a mature Chardonet grapevine (sweet and tasty but with seeds – great for wine making). Honeysuckle and a variety of other vines lead to the front yard and provide some privacy for you and shade for your air conditioner. The front yard has a lilac tree, huge round yew, a rose tree and many rose bushes and perennial and annual flowering plants abound.
UTILITIES
The high efficiency forced air furnace and air conditioner along with the Solar Powered Attic Vent (keeps the attic temperature at or near the outside temperature and vents almost all the humidity - means the air conditioner doesn't have to work so hard in Summer, and the wood and insulation don't
get damaged by moisture in Winter) keep the utilities very low; Gas = $21 to $138, Electric = $36 to $72, Water is $20 a month year round, Sewer is $19 a month year round, Trash and street sweeping are provided by the city.
NEIGHBORHOOD
You get the style and stained glass of a Southwest Saint Louis home on a Quiet, Hidden, (one way) street, one block from Christy Park and the southern corridor bike path. You will really enjoy all the wonderful neighbors in this very safe neighborhood with several police officers living within two blocks in each direction.
VIEWING/OFFER INFORMATION
All offers considered. Real estate agents are welcome, a buyer's agent could receive 2.7%.
Believe it, or not, we could go on and on with more...like the architectural shingle roof, ceiling fans with lighting you may never have seen before, new outlets and switches and wiring, new plumbing, an alarm system that can be set up with cameras and appliance controls that can be observed and turned on and off from anywhere in the world including calling your cell phone for alerts, or connected to an ordinary security service. This house is a must see!
