Bring your designer, your contractor, and your vision! Situated in the heart of the highly coveted University Park neighborhood, this impressive 2,996-square-foot brick home offers an incredible opportunity to restore a piece of local history while building instant equity in one of the area's most desirable enclaves. Well-cared for by the same owners since 1959, the home retains many original architectural details waiting to be highlighted alongside your updates. The main level boasts a spacious, open flow ideal for entertaining, seamless daily living, and flexible design. On the second floor, a former sunroom has been thoughtfully converted into two versatile bonus rooms—perfect for a dedicated home office, creative studio, or reading nook. With 4 bedrooms, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths, there is abundant space for family and guests alike. The partially finished lower level is ready for a refresh - to become a media room, fitness space, or custom lounge. Outdoors, the expansive, fully fenced backyard features extensive landscaping that provides a lush, serene backdrop for outdoor dining, gardening, or relaxing on quiet evenings. University Park is more than just a neighborhood; it’s a lifestyle. Renowned for its picturesque, tree-lined streets and welcoming community, you are perfectly positioned just minutes from the vibrant culture of the Delmar Loop and Washington University. Homes with this level of character and space rarely come available in University Park at this price point. Being sold as-is, this property provides a true blank slate for a high-end custom renovation. Whether you are looking to craft your ultimate forever home or secure your next marquee restoration project, the potential here is unmatched. NOTE: The home has passed University City municipal occupancy inspection.
