Property Description

Welcome to 444 Melville. This handsome 1926 University City two-story boasts everything that a Buyer could possibly wish for: original architectural charm, updates galore, a fabulous outdoor living space, and a spectacular location nestled between the Delmar Loop and Washington University in the highly-sought after Ames Place Subdivision. Bonus: there is a convenient neighborhood walking trail linking the two! In fact, Melville is the true walking neighborhood experience as you are mere blocks from eateries, shopping, theater at COCA, the U City library, and all of the fabulous amenities of Forest Park and The Loop. This impressive 4 bd/2 ba home features a lovely open floorplan ideal for entertaining, gorgeous natural light, and a ton of flexible living space including a main floor office nook and dreamy 4 season room with cozy radiant floor heating and a fishbowl backyard view. If you have a chef in the family, they will fall for the thoughtfully renovated kitchen with oodles of custom cabinets and gas cooking. Note- all of the stainless steel appliances convey with the property including a smart refrigerator and newer dishwasher (24). The most impressive thing about this home's full renovation, particularly the kitchen, is that the timeless finishes honor the original architectural integrity. Chef's kiss! Heading upstairs, there are 4 sizable bedrooms including the original window-lined sleeping porch with an adorable private rooftop terrace for morning coffee or yoga. It is a true treehouse experience and would be a fabulous office or hobby room. Heading downstairs, you would never guess that you are in a century home as the walk-up lower level is light, bright, and tidy. The original crawl space has been professionally encapsulated, the windows feature newer glass blocking, and the zoned HVAC and TANKLESS water heater/radiator combo were replaced by Hoffman Brothers in 2022. There is also a stack for a possible additional 1/2 bath. Heading outside is the perfect private backyard with a 6 foot wood fence for privacy, mature trees for shade, a herringbone brick patio for gatherings, a playset, and endless possibilities. Bring your twinkle lights! There is also a meticulous 1 car brick garage with a brand new garage door (25). Complete with fresh paint and new bathroom plumbing (26), this home is tidy and move-in ready. You will fall in love with the 100 year old goodies including stained glass windows, built-ins, archways, and hardwood floors. The lucky new Buyer can take possession in time to enjoy the epic Ames Place 4th of July subdivision celebration and will have a story to tell about their new OLD home with a past. It was the childhood home of actress Taylor Momsen of Gossip Girls and How The Grinch Stole Christmas movie. Welcome home, St. Louis!
