Property Description
3136 Lafayette Ave | Historic Character. Modern Possibilities. You don’t need four traditional bedrooms to fall in love with the possibilities this home offers! Welcome to 3136 Lafayette Ave, where historic St. Louis character meets flexible, modern living near the heart of Lafayette Square. From the moment you step inside, original hardwood floors, beautiful woodwork, exposed brick details, and two gas fireplaces showcase the charm and craftsmanship that make this home special. The kitchen brings modern convenience while complementing the character found throughout. With 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, and three levels of living space, there’s room to create a home that fits YOUR lifestyle. Need a dedicated home office? Guest retreat? Fitness room? Media room? Creative studio? The third floor opens up even more possibilities—and comes with a bonus you won’t find in just any home: beautiful views of Downtown St. Louis! Imagine creating a private third-floor retreat where you can unwind at the end of the day while taking in the city skyline. Looking for income-producing potential? The additional third-floor space could also offer possibilities for guest accommodations or a short-term rental/Airbnb-style setup. Step outside to the courtyard-style backyard, perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or creating your own private city retreat. And the location? Just a short walk from beautiful Lafayette Park, with neighborhood restaurants, shops, and entertainment nearby, plus convenient access to Downtown St. Louis, SLU, Harris-Stowe, area medical centers, and the Missouri Botanical Garden. This isn’t simply a 4-bedroom home—it’s three floors of possibilities, skyline views, and timeless St. Louis character all in one incredible property. Come see 3136 Lafayette Ave and imagine how YOU would make it home.
