I have always had a special fondness for the St Regis and The Chase as these buildings always signified the luxury of the St Louis lifestyle at the turn of the century and still today. (I have to admit that I still love watching Meet Me In St Louis). The St Regis was built in 1903 during the building frenzy that occurred pre-1904 World’s Fair and it’s luxurious aura has been maintained throughout the years. The entries to each building are ornate and preserved. The building has a front and back elevator. There is 24/7 security.

Unit 5 E has elaborate original millwork, leaded glass doors on the bookshelves and beamed ceiling in the dining room. For modern convenience, the kitchen and baths have been renovated. There are newer thermal windows throughout the unit. The floors have been refinished. The monthly coop fees for this unit are $575. There is an annual insurance payment from each shareholder which is $694 in 2013. The taxes are relatively low being $2085.86 in 2012. The average monthly utility bills for this unit are $88.

All in all, if you are considering downsizing from a large home in the county or one of the large homes in the Central West End, the St. Regis should be a viable option for you. It is at the edge of the city limits and our wonderful Forest Park is practically right outside the door. Of course, The Chase is directly across the street but you also have many other city amenities within a short walk. Straub’s Grocery Store is about a block away. The Schlafly Branch of the STL Public Library is around the corner. A metrolink station is walkable for easy access to STL events. The views from your 5th floor eastern facing windows are of a strong urban community with restaurants, shops and entertainment at your fingertips.
