If you are looking for the charm of yesteryear, here it is. I would love to know who built this house in 1928. The finishing touches are detailed and unique and they weren’t cheap. The first item that catches your eye from the curb is the wrought iron balcony with the two rounded casement windows. There is a portico on the front porch that is solid brick with arches that feel like you are visiting the Eads Bridge.
This home has over 2000 square feet of living space if you include the sunroom. It also has a full basement. The first floor is open with wide archways leading from room to room. The ornate fireplace mantle is an eye catching feature of the living room. The living room also has leaded glass windows and a French door leading to the front porch. I almost forgot to mention that the wood front door and screen door are original to the home. Also the kitchen still has the milk door.
The main level has hardwood floors and an envied floor plan. In addition to there being a family room and an enclosed sunroom, it has a first floor bedroom. The first floor bedroom has an adjoining smaller room that could be a nursery, office or sitting room. So much potential. The second floor has three rooms (only two bedrooms). The basement is full and walkout. The remnants of plumbing for an old bathroom are still there.
Potential is the key word for this property. It has so many architectural details but does need a major facelift. It is one of the larger homes in the subdivision.
This home is in the Musick subdivision of University City. This area still has an active neighborhood association.
