Our carpentry company bought this property in 2008 to tear down and build new town homes overlooking Sublette park, but the economy had other ideas. In 2010 we adjusted our vision and began a long, (still in progress) rehabilitation of the buildings, which at the time were 2 sets of attached duplexes. We gutted both buildings and spent weekends rebuilding the interiors, converting the large units into our single family home. Buy 2012 we were moved in and then started the same process on the 2 smaller apartment units. The transformation has been an amazing process and we wouldn't live anywhere else!

St Louis was settled by the French, and Missouri had an amazingly prolific clay mines. As a result the city is littered with gorgeous, rich red/brown brick architecture. I loved that our buildings had the original city style architecture with flat roofs and tall ceilings. Our home has 8' pocket doors, a parlor and 2 staircases. Originally they had fireplaces in every room and gas lighting. This house had many of those features so I feel very fortunate to have one of these historic looking buildings. The apartments we now rent on VRBO were smaller and perfect for rental property, so we updated them as well with all new HVAC, electric and plumbing. We live across from a lovely city park and can walk to our favorite restaurants and to play bocce in our bocce league, spring, summer and fall at our favorite Bar, Milo's Bocce Garden. I love the people in this neighborhood, many are people we grew up with. We are close to Forest Park, downtown, the Central West End, Soulard and Busch Stadiu,m where we love to watch our famous Cardinals play baseball. I wouldn't trade my neighborhood for any other in the city. We feel very fortunate to be here. Now, if only I can convince my husband to get a golf cart for getting around our neighborhood and style!!
