1181 Belrue Avenue, University City, MO, 63130

Set in the heart of University City, this distinctive property, originally configured as a two-family home, was thoughtfully converted in 2020 into a spacious single-family residence offering the character of a classic UCity home with the comfort and functionality of modern living. The comprehensive renovation also delivered a new kitchen, all-new baths, new HVAC, and a tankless water heater providing peace of mind while preserving the appeal of its historic setting. A full basement offers valuable additional storage and utility space. Enter to find a welcoming open floor plan with an easy flow between the living, dining, and kitchen areas. With 4 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths, the home offers exceptional flexibility for family, guests, or work-from-home needs. Bedrooms are located on both the first and second floors, while a separate office provides a quiet and dedicated workspace. The Murphy bed in the office will remain with the house. Outside, enjoy a private, fenced-in yard and expansive deck, an inviting extension of the living space for outdoor dining, relaxing, gardening, and entertaining. The location is equally compelling. This highly walkable University City setting puts coffee shops, restaurants, shopping, the library, and the farmers’ market all within easy reach, with the energy and amenities of the neighborhood right outside your door. A rare blend of historic character, thoughtful modern updates, flexible living space, and exceptional walkability, this special home offers an A+ opportunity to experience the best of University City.

Tree-lined Yale Avenue sets the stage for this charming University City home, where original character and thoughtful updates live happily together. The living room features a set of distinctive French doors with pretty metal grills that surround the gorgeous stone fireplace. The living room opens into a spacious dining room that is adjacent to the updated kitchen that includes custom cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and a convenient pantry. A bright and useful mudroom leads to the gorgeous brick patio, glorious gardens, and fenced backyard—perfect for morning coffee, happy hour, or letting everyone (and everything) run free. Upstairs, four generously sized bedrooms share a large, beautifully updated bath with a jetted tub, while three—yes, THREE—linen/storage closets keep life organized on the second floor. Original hardwood floors throughout the main and second levels are in wonderful condition and add warmth at every turn. The finished lower level delivers even more fun with a Family Room, play space, full bath and laundry room - the washer/dryer stay - plus a great storage room with built-ins. A convenient entrance to the lower level from the driveway is especially useful and you can add to that a detached two-car garage that includes built-in storage. Charming ... comfortable ... and full of surprises—this Yale Avenue gem is waiting to welcome YOU home!
