Come walk this oh-so-stylish 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath property with deluxe kitchen tucked right into the beating heart of the beautiful Benton Park neighborhood. Carefully maintained and tastefully updated since a gut renovation roughly 20 years ago, this historic townhome combines urban, contemporary style with the flavor of one the most architectural significant neighborhoods in STL. On the front stoop, step past the charming gas lantern and through the original arched window doorway into a handsome living room sporting high ceilings, lovely millwork, original heart-of-pine flooring and an ornate gas fireplace. The generous dining room is right off an eat-in chef's kitchen replete with storage, high-end stainless appliances (including a wine fridge), and granite countertops which are truly spacious enough for too many cooks. On floor 2 you'll find 2 beautifully outfitted bedrooms that both offer generous space, natural light and privacy. The primary suite sports lofted ceilings with skylight and an en-suite bath with a dual vanity and generous shower, as well as a gracious walk-in closet. An additional hall bath w/combined tub and shower guarantees plenty of elbow room in the a.m. The top level opens to a loft bedroom/play/work space with skylights and plenty of area to lay out the big projects. Out back discover a truly private courtyard with outdoor wood-burning fireplace for cool evening gatherings, and an enclosed single car garage. You'll appreciate the parking because this is an area made to explore on foot; stroll down to Blues City Deli for lunch, Venice Cafe for music, or cross the bridge into Soulard for the party. Did I mention that nearly all the tasteful contents are available for negotiation out of contract? All that's left for you to do is pack a suitcase and move in!
