Christmas Tree Lighting

 

Every year, Francis park hosts an event during which the public comes together to elaborately decorate one large pine tree in the park for the winter season. This is a very festive event open to the public. Light refreshments are served including hot cocoa. You can choose to join in the fun of decorating or just watch the part of the park be transformed into a beautiful winter sight.

A rare opportunity in St. Louis Hills: finish a beautiful renovation and make it your own. 6650 Walsh has already undergone a thoughtful transformation, opening up the original floor plan for modern living while preserving the character of this classic brick home. The standout addition? A spacious main-floor primary suite with walk-in closet and gorgeous en suite bath—plus a main-floor laundry room—making this two-story home an ideal option for buyers looking for the convenience of one-level living. The first floor now offers an open, natural flow between the new kitchen, dining room and inviting living room with stone fireplace, along with a convenient mudroom/laundry area with easy access to the two-car garage and backyard.

If you've been waiting for a chance to call St. Louis Hills home, this might be the opportunity you've been hoping for. Tree-lined streets, beautiful brick homes, and Francis Park just down the road—it's easy to see why so many people hope to call this neighborhood home. This home has so much of the character people come here looking for: hardwood floors, stained glass, arched openings, decorative columns, crown molding, and a fireplace that gives the living room a warm, inviting feel. Fresh paint throughout brightens the home and lets those original details take center stage. The kitchen is solid and functional with granite countertops, wood cabinets, and plenty of opportunity to make updates over time without sacrificing character. Downstairs, there's additional space ready for whatever fits your lifestyle—a home office, workout room, hobby space, or maybe the classic South City basement rec room. Throw down an area rug, bring that old couch you're not quite ready to part with, hang a TV, and you've got the perfect spot to watch the game, host friends, or just spread out a little. One of my favorite (of many) little details is the extra-wide staircase leading upstairs. If you've ever wrestled a mattress or sofa up the narrow staircase of an older home, you'll appreciate what a difference that makes on moving day. Outside, the multi-level deck gives you plenty of room to relax, grill, or entertain. One section is covered, making it the perfect place to sit with a cup of coffee and watch one of those Midwest storms roll in. The yard is intentionally low-maintenance, so you'll spend less time mowing and more time enjoying your weekends. You'll also appreciate the one-car garage, and if you have more than one vehicle, street parking is rarely, if ever, a problem. When winter weather rolls in, you'll be glad you're positioned on a street that's easy to get in and out of. Every home has something that isn't perfect. Here, it's the small commercial area behind the property, and that's reflected in the price. For many buyers, the chance to own a character-filled home in St. Louis Hills at this price point makes that an easy trade off. The best part about St. Louis Hills has never been trendy kitchens or designer finishes—it's the neighborhood itself. It's evening walks through Francis Park, summer concerts, neighborhood restaurants, and streets lined with homes that have stood the test of time. If that's what you've been looking for, I think you'll feel right at home here.
