About this property
Elm Street Escape- Easy Access to Alton & STL
Escape the daily madness and retreat to this perfectly remodeled historic home - situated in the middle of Upper Alton. A truly unique property, this fully updated 1920s colonial home stands out against its surroundings in a way that is both impressive and welcoming.
While the 1 Acre oversized lot establishes some separation from the outside world, the central location with easy access to shopping,local colleges, and downtown STL is ideal.
The space
The Elm Street Escape is a beautiful house built in the 1930s, and perfectly updated through the years.
Original pocket doors throughout the living and dining rooms, granite counters and new appliances in the kitchen, and a beautiful master bath with dual shower head, rainfall shower.
The option for a 4th bed is available upon request with the use of the pullout couch located in the living room. Pocket doors in both sides of the living room and a downstairs half-bath ensure complete privacy in this arrangement.
