Back on market due to no fault of sellers! Circa 1923. Rare opportunity to own an updated historic home on one of University City's most distinguished blocks "” steps from Washington University, the Delmar Loop's cultural corridor, and minutes from Forest Park's world-class museums and trails. With 6 bedrooms and 3.5 baths across 3,181 sq. ft., this residence offers exceptional flexibility "” a home office, a creative studio, a guest room, and still room to spare.
Well maintained and move-in ready, crown molding and plantation shutters throughout speak to the home's enduring character, while professionally organized closets in every room reflect a thoughtful attention to livability. The spacious living room and gracious dining room invite quiet contemplation and effortless entertaining. A lovely sunroom off the dining room brings the outdoors in year-round.
The private primary suite features an en suite bath and its own sun-drenched sitting room "” a retreat within a retreat. With an adjacent bedroom, the suite offers a natural opportunity to expand into a larger bath and walk-in closet while still leaving five bedrooms.
The basement stands apart from most historic homes in the neighborhood, with its 7-foot ceiling height and professionally stained concrete floor "” a far cry from the typical historic basement. A sump pump provides added peace of mind.
Recent upgrades reflect years of careful stewardship: new roof on the home in 2026, new roof on the garage in 2023, windows replaced approximately eight years ago, a tankless water heater installed roughly eight years ago, a new dishwasher in 2025, a whole-house pressure regulator, and a pre-wired generator outlet. The fully fenced property "” with a fence approximately two years old "” features a sprinkler system and a two-car garage with an EV charging station.
University City's walkable streets and thriving independent culture "” along with a wonderfully active and welcoming block of neighbors "” make this a home with room for every chapter of life. For information on the Ames Place indenture and neighborhood, visit amesplace.org. This is more than a home. It is a foundation for an extraordinary life.
