Property Description

**Grand, historic and full of possibility in the heart of Webster Groves.** Built in 1893 and owned by the same family since the early 1970s, this 5-bedroom, 3-bath home offers more than 3,400 square feet across three stories, plus the kind of architecture and scale that make old Webster homes so special. The dramatic staircase, tall ceilings, original hardwood floors bring the character. The first floor features an entry foyer with grand staircase, the drawing room with bow window, living and dining rooms. The huge country-style kitchen is the heart of this home for a family who loved to entertain BIG. Loads of oak cabinetry, Dacor double ovens and a 5-burner cooktop. A 2016 addition on the west side expanded the original kitchen footprint to create a 20x20 space with center island and walk-in pantry. Upstairs you'll find the primary bedroom with walk-in closet, laundry room, luxury bath with tub and separate shower (that was created in 2016 above the new kitchen). The first- and second-floor bathrooms were also gutted and rebuilt with updated plumbing and electrical. 2 more bedrooms and a full bath with double sinks complete the second floor. The third floor features 2 attic style bedrooms with plenty of windows. Outside, nearly half a half acre gives you a stately front lawn and still has an ample rear fenced yard for kids or pets. The oversized 2-car carriage-style garage includes a separate 200 SF workshop with its own electrical panel. And the location is pure Webster: walkable to Webster Groves High School, Webster University, shops, cafés and restaurants in Downtown Webster, and about a mile to the recreation complex, pool, ice arena, tennis and Hixson Middle School. This home needs restoration in each room: plaster repair, hardwood refinishing and cosmetic work—but the bones, size, setting and location are all here. Major systems have already been modernized with PVC, copper plumbing, Romex wiring and two 200-amp breaker panels. Updated Zoned HVAC keeps each level comfortable.
