Property Description

Meet Franz! Love the charm of a classic St. Louis neighborhood but not necessarily the century old house that comes with it? This guy might be the sweet spot. Tucked along a private street in Franz Park, this newer construction brick home delivers the location you want with none of those old house question marks we don't love. And among its Franz Park Lane neighbors, this one has a few reasons to look twice. Start with the interior lot and fenced backyard, offering a little more privacy and a much better setup for dogs, entertaining or simply enjoying your own outdoor space. Then add a brand new roof, new water heater and beautifully refinished hardwood floors that make the main level shine. Inside, the floor plan feels refreshingly functional. Maple hardwood floors carry through the main living spaces, while a gas fireplace with built in bookcases anchor the living room. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, gas range, pantry, breakfast bar, and plenty of room for everyday life and entertaining. Main level is rounded with a formal dining room, entry foyer, and large living room. The space is surprisingly flexible and could easily be repurposed to meet your lifestyle. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with trayed ceiling, expansive walk-in shower, double vanities, and walk-in closet, plus a full hall bath and the convenience of second floor laundry. An oversized 4-car garage adds the kind of parking and storage that makes city living considerably easier. Better yet, newer construction means you get to enjoy an established St. Louis neighborhood without automatically inheriting some of the greatest hits of an older city home. Think modern electrical, modern plumbing and newer infrastructure rather than wondering what might be waiting inside the walls or underneath the front yard. The location may be the best part. BJC, Washington University, SLU and Clayton are all within easy reach, with Forest Park, Dogtown and Historic Maplewood nearby for everything from a morning run to dinner and drinks. Quick access to Highway 40/I 64 makes getting around the rest of St. Louis easy too. So yes, you can have the city location, the brick house, the hardwood floors and the neighborhood feel. You can also have a fenced yard, an oversized garage, a brand new roof and a home built this century. Turns out you don't have to choose.
