Home Details for 3418 Grace Avenue

Built in 1897, this late-Victorian-era, two-story home has spent more than a century gathering an expressive facade that immediately sets it apart. Through the beautiful paired wood entry doors is substantial millwork and a graceful staircase reflects the craftsmanship buyers hope to find in an older St. Louis home. Generously sized living and a formal dining rooms provide comfortable everyday space, while a decorative fireplace and oversized bay window creates an architectural focal point and a connection to the home’s past. The kitchen is updated with butcher-block countertops, a farmhouse sink, open shelving and enough room for a dining nook. Upstairs, two true bedrooms are joined by an additional flex room that can adapt as a home office, creative studio, reading room, dressing room or play space. A Juliet balcony adds another unexpected touch of charm. With walk-out access and a full bathroom the lower level has utility for gardening, projects or pets. The deep, fenced backyard offers increasingly hard-to-find city space for gardening, entertaining, pets or the creation of a private outdoor retreat. At the rear of the property, the carriage house offers both history and possibility. The main level includes a one-car garage, while the upper level was once configured as a one-bedroom, loft-style apartment. Conveyed strictly as-is and in need of restoration, it presents an exciting opportunity to reimagine the space as a guest house, private studio, home office or potential rental. Modern improvements include a newer roof and four individually controlled mini-split systems that provide flexible, room-by-room comfort while allowing the home’s original character to remain intact. Just one block from South Grand, the best of Tower Grove South is close at hand, with neighborhood dining, coffee, shopping and everyday conveniences is woven into daily life.
