Tower Grove Park  

Tower Grove Park is a great park that was bequeathed to the City of St Louis by Henry Shaw in the 19th Century on the condition that it always be used as a park.  It is 289 acres and is the second largest park in the City of St Louis.  

Henry Shaw was a native of Sheffield, England and emigrated to the United States to help his fathers business selling Sheffield Steel and Cutlery.  As a teenager he was sent to New Orleans to locate a shipment.  Once that shipment was found, his buyer for the shipment was in what was then the small French Village ofTower Grove Park STL

St. Louis, that had recently been acquired by the United States in the Louisiana Purchase.  Though only a teenager at the time, Henry Shaw began a hardware business in Downtown St Louis at a time when St. Louis, and she surrounding territory were beginning massive growth as westward expansion was in full swing.   His business was so successful that he was able to become one of the largest land owners in St Louis, and retire by the age of 40. 

The Henry Shaw estate was situated on what is now the Missouri Botanical Garden, and the adjacent land was developed into a Victorian Era Park and donated to the City of St Louis.  Donated in 1867, the park has been developed in the vision of Mr. Shaw into a park with winding paths nice views beautifully assorted plants, trees, sculptures and historic pavillions.  

Tower Grove Park is surrounded by the Tower Grove SouthTower Grove EastShaw, and Southwest Garden neighborhoods which all subsequently benefit from the community building activities within the park and its beautiful gardens and historic park pavillions and sculptures.  Several of the activities and community services in Tower Grove Park are linked below.

Welcome to 4560 Flad Ave, a beautifully reimagined 4-unit building in the heart of St. Louis's sought-after Southwest Garden neighborhood. Completely rehabbed in 2022, making it one of the most turnkey multifamily offerings on the market today — ideal for an investor seeking a low-maintenance, cash-flowing asset or an owner-occupant looking to live in one unit while rental income helps cover the mortgage. Every major system in the building has been replaced or upgraded. Plumbing is entirely new, including a new water service line running from the street into the building. Electrical has been almost entirely modernized, with 90% of the original knob-and-tube wiring already removed; the final 10% will be completed and paid for by the seller prior to closing, so the new owner inherits a fully updated electrical system at no additional cost. All units have new hot water tanks, two of the four furnaces have been replaced, and every unit has brand new AC installed in 2022. All four units were rehabbed at the same time and share identical, high-end finishes throughout — so there's no guessing which unit got the "good" upgrades. Each has been completely reconfigured with a modern, open-concept layout, and every kitchen is finished with stainless steel appliances, 42-inch shaker cabinets, custom tile backsplash, and granite countertops — a level of finish rarely found in a building this size. Bathrooms have been fully renovated with new fixtures and finishes throughout, original hardwood floors have been refinished to a like-new shine, and every unit has been freshly painted from top to bottom. One of the best features of this building: no scary basements. Each unit comes with its own stacked in-unit washer and dryer, giving tenants the convenience of in-home laundry without ever having to head downstairs — a major amenity that sets this property apart from typical multifamily buildings in the area. Curb appeal hasn't been overlooked either. The property was just freshly landscaped and now includes a custom automatic watering system, keeping the grounds looking sharp with minimal upkeep for the new owner. One unit is currently vacant, offering flexibility for a new owner to move in and owner-occupy while renting out the remaining three units, or to place a tenant immediately and start generating full rental income from day one. With all major systems, kitchens, baths, flooring, and landscaping already completed — and every unit finished to the same high standard — 4560 Flad Ave is truly turnkey and move-in ready. This is a rare opportunity to own a fully renovated multifamily property in one of St. Louis's most desirable, walkable neighborhoods, just minutes from the Missouri Botanical Garden, Tower Grove Park, and The Hill. Whether you're an investor looking for a hassle-free addition to your portfolio or a buyer ready to owner-occupy, this property checks every box. Schedule your showing today — properties in this condition, in this location, don't last long.
