Circa 1897 While there are plenty of two-family conversions in the beloved Shaw neighborhood, some evolve & become superior. This stellar historic home on Russell was really waiting to be a single-family residence all along. The flow from the entry foyer to the open concept living on the main level to the segmented stairwell that creates privacy on each floor, finishes with a sweeping guest suite on the top level. With dramatic dormers & its own private bath, it’s a serene scene for visitors or interpreted as you wish. A chef’s kitchen is ready for recipes. The play area & outdoor garden are prime for gathering with folks & family on the chill front porch or on the patio out back. Sophisticated finishes complement the historic details at every turn including stained glass windows & original millwork. Since the conversion to a single family home, several thoughtful updates were recently made to enhance the home’s function & value, including an outdoor patio in June 2021 privacy fence in 2020, interior & exterior paint in 2024. And who doesn’t love a new roof? Literally less than a year old with an 8 year warranty to boot. Walkable to everything you love about the Shaw area including schools, indie shops, farmers’ markets, community events & the jewel of Tower Grove Park, all while nestled on a neighborly street. Seeking its next dwellers who will take their turn as stewards of this elegant & welcoming abode & fill the home with love & new memories for years to come.
