7038 Pernod Avenue, St Louis, MO 63139 - Jamie Walsh Real Estate

$399,900

Built in 1890, historic Victorian homes like this don’t come along very often and certainly not in this condition. Think Meet Me in St. Louis just without the Forest Park price tag. The inviting front porch welcomes you through a beautiful oversized front door accented by a stained glass transom.… Read More Step into the foyer, where hardwood floors gleam below and a chandelier sparkles above. You’ll immediately notice the stunning staircase, not only beautifully preserved, but wide enough for modern furniture (a rare and practical bonus). Working pocket doors lead to a sitting room with a decorative wood-burning fireplace and another chandelier, then into the spacious dining room with bay windows and yet another chandelier. There’s plenty of room to host large gatherings and store all your entertaining essentials in buffets or cabinets. This is the Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah house - the one everyone will want to come to. No need to wonder where to add a main floor half bath - this home already has one, a rare find for a home of this age and so convenient. While much of the home’s original charm has been thoughtfully preserved, you’ll be glad to know the kitchen has seen an update or two since the 1890s. It’s simple, functional, and ready for everyday use, with quality cabinetry, a side-by-side refrigerator with ice maker, electric range, dishwasher and microwave. Step out from the kitchen to a deck overlooking a large, flat fenced in backyard - ideal for gardening, a pool, or even adding a garage. Off-street parking? It's got that, with a driveway in place. Tall original windows flood every room with natural light, and the next owner could even explore registering the home as a historic property if desired. Upstairs, the historic details continue with transom windows above all three bedrooms and the spacious full bath. The bathroom features a huge soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity - plus the convenience of second-floor laundry. Through the bathroom is attic access, offering potential for future expansion. The primary bedroom showcases bay windows, abundant natural light, and a surprisingly large closet - something you don’t always find in the city. Each bedroom has overhead lighting and tall ceilings. You’ll love the 1890s craftsmanship like tall baseboards, beautiful woodwork and solid mahogany doors while appreciating modern comforts like central air and an updated electrical panel. Take a quick stroll to Lindenwood Park and enjoy it's playground, ball fields or just to walk the dog. The Hill is only minutes away for all of your favorite Italian restaurants and of course Highway 44 is very close to connect you anywhere else you'd like to go in the area. Sellers prefer an owner-occupant who will cherish the home’s character and history. Sale will be as-is; sellers will not perform city occupancy or repairs. The sellers are looking for a buyer for the lift on front porch and intend for it to be gone before closing. Furniture in the home is negotiable. Read Less
