The Gate District • Adjacent to Lafayette Square • Walk or bike to SLU and Lafayette Park • South-facing historic townhouse with modern systems and garage access.

Located in The Gate Neighborhood, one of St. Louis’s most connected districts bordering Lafayette Square and the SLU Medical Campus, this 3-bed, 4-bath attached townhouse blends historic craftsmanship with contemporary upgrades. Built circa 1900 and fully renovated within the past 15 years, the home combines exposed brick, original millwork, tall ceilings, and hardwood floors with updated mechanicals and finishes for modern comfort.

Comprehensive 2023 updates include a new roof, HVAC systems, professional tuckpointing, new front-patio concrete, and new concrete in the basement and rear access areas. The partially finished lower level features a new concrete pour for water mitigation, ready for flooring installation, and includes a recreation area, full bath, and walk-out to the rear alley. A finished third-floor bonus level provides flexible space for office, studio, or guest use (window units for cooling).

The main level showcases an open-concept layout ideal for entertaining, with a granite kitchen, stainless appliances, custom cabinetry, and a breakfast island adjoining the living and dining spaces. A bright south-facing orientation fills the interior with natural light throughout the day.

Exterior features include a small fenced front patio courtyard and rear alley access to a two-car garage—a sought-after amenity in the central-city corridor. While there is no rear yard, the gated front patio offers an inviting spot for planters or café seating.
