Showings begin Tues 5/26! Tucked in an incredibly walkable location near Shaw Park, downtown Clayton, the Metro station, restaurants, shopping, and Meramec Elementary School, this beautifully updated home offers the perfect combination of charm, functionality, and substantial long-term investment in both cosmetic and major system improvements.
With 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, an office/playroom, custom hardwood floors, two fireplaces, a screened porch, fenced backyard, and additional clean basement space ready to be finished, the home offers flexible living spaces both inside and out. Fresh paint throughout the entire home – including ceilings, walls, baseboards, and even the screened porch which gives the interior a clean, cohesive feel, while updated lighting, refreshed bathrooms, and renovated office/playroom spaces add style and functionality.
The kitchen features trendy under-lit cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, new dishwasher, new sink/faucet, newly installed exhaust ductwork, and thoughtful improvements that blend everyday convenience with timeless appeal. Both bathrooms have been refreshed with updated vanities, fixtures, restored tile, and additional plumbing upgrades.
What truly sets this home apart, however, is the extraordinary investment the current owners have made into the infrastructure and long-term integrity of the property. Significant improvements include a full CIPP sewer line installation extending from beneath the home to the street, replacement of all galvanized plumbing with copper piping, whole-home water purification and reverse osmosis systems, new HVAC and thermostat including a whole-home humidifier , professionally cleaned and disinfected ductwork, and extensive garage upgrades including an insulated steel garage door and upgraded mechanical components. (You must review the complete list of updates!)
The exterior has also seen extensive improvements, including refurbished retaining walls, drainage system installation, chimney tuckpointing and counter flashing repairs, spot tuckpointing throughout the home, updated exterior paint and caulking, aluminum window wrapping, replacement noise-reducing windows throughout most of the home, new fascia, house wrap, insulation, vinyl siding, oversized gutters and downspouts, and the new roof featuring CertainTeed Landmark Class 3 impact-resistant shingles, and bitumen rolled roofing.
Additional improvements completed over recent years include kitchen renovation, 50-gallon water heater (3 yrs), replaced insulation (3 yrs), electrical and plumbing updates, new window and porch screens, LVT floors in office, and more – creating a home where the expensive projects have already been thoughtfully addressed.
A rare opportunity to own a truly move-in ready home in one of the area’s most desirable and convenient locations, offering not only charm and livability, but an exceptional level of care and investment throughout. A rare find in this price-range in Clayton School District!
