Property Description

Welcome to this historic two-family built in 1894 in the heart of Fox Park. Offering the perfect opportunity for owner-occupants, investors, or buyers looking to offset their mortgage with rental income. Live in one unit while renting the other and start building equity while enjoying all the character and lifestyle this vibrant neighborhood offers. The home blends historic architecture with thoughtful updates like heated floors in the bathrooms and master bedroom, whole house wired audio, exposed brick, rich cherry wood sills, walnut trims/built-ins, old growth pine hardwood floors, and original pocket doors that showcase the craftsmanship of this classic St. Louis property. Historic details—including glimpses of wallpaper from another era preserved within the walls—add a unique connection to the home’s past while modern improvements provide everyday comfort. The property underwent a complete gut renovation in 2013. Additional improvements include a new sewer lateral installed in 2023 and a new roof in 2026. The first-floor unit offers its own welcoming layout with hardwood floors, tall ceilings, exposed brick, and pocket doors that allow rooms to flow easily from living to dining and kitchen spaces. Unlike most south city 1 bedroom shotguns this floor plan entertains guests with access to kitchen and bath without walking through the bedroom. Also includes laundry in-suite. This unit is currently tenant occupied on a month-to-month lease, providing immediate rental income for investors or future owner-occupants. The upstairs unit is currently vacant and ready for an owner-occupant. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops, stainless appliances, and plenty of space to cook and gather, along with the convenience of in-unit laundry. Living areas are warm and inviting, anchored by the original cast etched fireplace and tall windows that fill the home with natural light. A flexible second room can function as a dining room, home office, or additional bedroom, offering versatility for today’s lifestyles. The primary suite is exceptionally spacious, creating a true retreat within the home. Unique features include a built-in solid walnut bed platform, exposed brick accents, cedar walk-in closet, and a private en-suite bathroom with 3 shower heads. Outside, a two-car parking pad provides convenient off-street parking, a valuable feature in the city and deep enough for tandem parking to fit up to 4 cars if needed. Located in the sought-after Fox Park neighborhood, you are just minutes from some of the city’s most beloved restaurants, including Lona’s Little Eats, Little Fox, Coffeestamp and Press Coffee, along with parks, neighborhood shops, and easy access to the best of city living. The property also sits along Jefferson Avenue near the proposed north–south rapid transit corridor.
