Timeless architecture. Thoughtful craftsmanship. Surprisingly spacious. For Lease, Lease Purchase, or Sale! A rare blend of classic University City charm and thoughtfully executed modern design, this beautifully transformed brick bungalow has been extensively renovated through fully permitted improvements while preserving the architectural character that makes homes of this era so enduringly desirable. From the moment you arrive, the home makes a lasting first impression. A storybook arched stone-and-brick entryway, warm wood front door, and striking masonry details showcase the timeless craftsmanship that sets this home apart before you ever step inside. The interior is equally captivating. Refinished hardwood floors, graceful arched openings, original windows, and a stunning new fireplace create a warm, light-filled living room where historic character and modern comfort exist in perfect harmony. Just beyond, the spacious formal dining room easily accommodates large family gatherings, holiday celebrations, and dinner parties with seating for up to twelve. Designed for the way people live today, the completely reimagined kitchen offers generous workspace, abundant cabinetry, new appliances, and stylish finishes that make everyday living as enjoyable as entertaining. Two spacious main-level bedrooms and a beautifully updated full bath provide exceptional flexibility, including one bedroom featuring custom built-in bookcases that add both charm and functionality. The thoughtfully designed upper level has been transformed into a true owner's retreat. The spacious primary suite offers the privacy buyers crave with a beautifully appointed ensuite bath and walk-in closet, while an additional oversized bedroom provides versatile space for family, guests, or a dedicated home office. The walk-out lower level further expands the home's versatility with a large family room, an additional full bathroom, and an oversized bonus room perfectly suited for a media room, fitness studio, executive office, hobby space, or even a fifth sleeping area. Step outside to discover one of the property's most unexpected features—an expansive, fully fenced double lot. A covered rear deck finished in warm natural wood overlooks an outdoor space rarely found in University City, offering abundant room for entertaining, gardening, pets, play, or simply enjoying a quiet evening at home. Perfectly positioned near parks, restaurants, shopping, Washington University, Clayton, Forest Park, and the continued revitalization and investment along the Page Avenue corridor, this home combines timeless architecture with modern convenience in one of the region's most established communities. Thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, distinctive character, and enduring attention to detail are the reasons this home was selected as part of the Penthouse Crafted Collection.

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!
