This listing is for the upstairs space ONLY which includes 1 bedroom, a bathroom, living room, and kitchenette. This is a second floor space, there are 16 steps from front door to living space.

Feed your spiritual side with a walk at the Ferdinand Shrine, admiring the beauty of Sacred Heart church, or attending any of the other many religious spots in this tight-knit community. This is the perfect spot for enjoying the Valley of Flowers parade, the summer band events, and the Fall Festival, many can be seen from the living room window. It makes for a comfortable space to prepare for weddings within walking distance (Sacred Heart Catholic Church, Old Town Wedding Chapel). Visitors of local hospitals and nursing centers can enjoy peace and quiet to recharge while staying close to their loved one. Although this house is located on a commercial street it backs up to a residential area. This neighborhood is a safe, beautiful and peaceful place to walk or jog. The scenery includes majestic trees and century old homes restored to their original beauty. Nearby St. Ferdinand Park (about 1 mile away) also has plenty to do with a playground, sand volleyball court, pickle ball courts and fishing pond. Early flight out of Lambert International? Park your car here and enjoy a relaxing night before your trip. Plentiful CVS and Walgreens means you can stock up on those, “Oh shoot, we forgot it” items. Although there is plenty to do within the neighborhood you are also close to all the action St. Louis has to offer. A short drive to the metro link at UMSL station will take you a Cardinals game, Union Station, or the downtown vibe on Washington. This historic home is located in a business district with street noise as well as occasional noise from nearby bars. There are also two units in this old home so sometimes noise can carry between the units, this is why we request that guests respect quiet hours within the home between 10pm and 9am. We have a kitchen area in the home and have left breakfast supplies to make waffles, oatmeal, or grab a granola bar to go.
