Built in 1890, this beautifully preserved home is one of the earliest residences in the historic Lindenwood Addition, with roots tracing back to prominent St. Louis developer Samuel T. Rathell. Homes with this level of documented history rarely come to market and almost never in such remarkable condition. From the moment you step onto the inviting front porch, you’ll notice the craftsmanship of a bygone era: original period windows, solid mahogany doors, historic millwork, pocket doors, transom windows, tall baseboards, and a beautifully preserved staircase. Much of the home’s original woodwork remains intact, offering an authentic Victorian aesthetic that is increasingly rare in St. Louis City. Inside, hardwood floors, chandeliers, bay windows, and a wood-burning fireplace create a warm, timeless ambiance. The formal rooms flow gracefully, making this an ideal home for gatherings and anyone who appreciates historic architecture. The kitchen has been tastefully updated for modern living. Upstairs, all three bedrooms feature tall ceilings and transom windows, and the spacious full bath includes a soaking tub, separate shower, and double vanity. The laundry has also been relocated to the upstairs for convenience. The home sits on a large, fenced-in level yard with plenty of room to add a garage. Located near Lindenwood Park, I-44, and Historic Route 66, this home is ideal for a buyer who values craftsmanship, heritage, and the charm of a well-loved piece of St. Louis history. This home was lovingly restored and cared for by the mother of the sellers. Because they have never lived in the home themselves, they prefer to make no further changes or repairs and have priced the home to reflect its as-is condition. While the exterior requires some work and the interior styling is dated, the home is completely livable, allowing you to move right in and comfortably occupy the home while you make updates at your own pace.
