A rare blend of charm, space, and smart improvements—this Carondelet home is built to last and equipped for the times. Expecting this to be their forever home, the current owners made significant improvements: a NEW green-energy efficient heat pump for heating and cooling and no gas bill! Installed sewer lateral liner, new privacy fence, new electric panel, and appliances (fridge, stove, and dishwasher ). Owners also tuckpointed the front of the house, did significant water mitigation to basement, and improved the tree-lined backyard with a step-stone walk. Freshly painted throughout, this 3-bedroom home is full of warmth and personality—featuring hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and a truly stunning original staircase that makes a statement the moment you walk in. Upstairs you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and a full bath with a shower/tub combo. Head up to the third floor and discover the bonus space everyone dreams of—ideal for a creative art studio, hangout zone, office, or future finished living area to add even more usable square footage. Although built in 1892, this home’s all electric heat pump, HVAC, and appliances prepare it for the future. This home's architecture and state of the art features make this property a rare gem in South Saint Louis.
