CLOSED: 444 Melville Avenue in University City

Oh happy day...
Gorgeous Melville, adjacent to the Delmar Loop in the highly-desirable Ames Place subdivision, just closed escrow! 

Fun Fact: this home was supposed to be on the St. Louis edition of HGTV’s House Hunters but the other properties wouldn’t allow filming. Boo! 

Anyhoo- I love this foursome and am excited for their new home adventures! A huge congratulations and warm thank you to the B/R family. Beautiful historic property plus a wonderful family make for the perfect house love match.

In St. Louis and contemplating a 2021 move?  Let's connect!  The market is insanely competitive for Buyers and you need someone on your team working for you.  Let me help!

2013 HGTV Dream Home Getaway...



Nothing says "Happy New Year" like the HGTV announcement of their new Dream Home project! I await the design eye candy every year- the 2013 project does NOT disappoint?!

Every year, HGTV constructs and gifts one lucky viewer with a dream home of EPIC proportions.    This year's property is a a low country Zen coastal cottage located off the coast of the Atlantic, just outside of Charleston, South Carolina on Kiawah Island. Having enjoyed a glorious week in that area last summer, I can attest this would be a dream come true for most people.  Beautiful beaches, amazing history, lovely architecture.

A quick video tour of this year's project...



The 3,000 sq ft 3 story home is part of the Indigo Village "green-living" neighborhood.  In fact, this house is SO "green", it earns a Platinum LEED certification!   The property boasts a streamlined kitchen with bamboo flooring, a master bathroom suite with a nearly two-foot deep soaking tub, an outdoor shower, and a front deck built from sustainable hardwood. All within 2,000 ft. from the beach!

This strong Buyer's Market is FILLED with investment opportunities for 1st time Home Buyers. Period
