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.

Under Contract: 444 Melville Avenue in University City

Weekend made!  Very early this morning, I received notice that my Buyers BEAT out the competition and contracted this handsome historic U City two-story...

Built in 1925, this gorgeous home is in the popular Ames Place subdivision, nestled between the Loop and Washington University.  The neighboring Forest Park? Its playground!  It was a love match the second my clients walked in the door, so I was thrilled that our negotiation strategies paid off against the competition.

This beauty closes next month!  A super warm congratulations and THANK YOU to the B/R family.

Closed: #8129 Stanford Avenue in University City

When you sell the home that you have enjoyed and raised your family in for over 30 years, it is really like leaving behind a good friend.  As my boys grow older, I've become a lot more cognizant of the fact that eventually Steve and I will be back to two in this house and will have to decide if all of the large family amenities are still necessary.

#8129 Stanford closed today, and these clients have really become family to me over the years as we have contemplated, strategized, and waited for the right time for this downsize.  This big beautiful University City home served them well for over 3 decades and will hopefully go on to create beautiful family memories for the new Buyers.

To the entire K family- here's hoping that the next chapter is as fun-filled as the last.  Thank you, thank you for allowing me to help you in this big transition and I look forward to seeing what the future in your new house holds!  I won't say "keep in touch" as you aren't getting rid of me any time soon. ;-)  Ha ha.  Congratulations!

Under Contract: 7232 Greenway Avenue in University City

My Buyers are going to call this handsome two-story in University Hills home soon, as it just went under contract! As a Realtor, I weave in and out of local neighborhoods daily and there is something distinct about the historic University Hills in University City, palpable every time I enter the gates.  Obviously, the tree-lined streets and meticulously maintained 1930's architecture are fantastic, though there is something special about how cohesive this particular neighborhood is with an organization to promote neighbor relations.  

The University Hills homeowners take true pride in their homes, evident as you pass from one house to the next.  Plus, you can walk to The Loop, Downtown Clayton, Washington University, and the fabulous Winslow's Home.   Lovely homes nested around Flynn Park, gorgeous historic architecture, and a terrific central location- fantastic! 

7232 Greenway Avenue closes in August.  A warm congratulations and official St. Louis welcome to this amazing family!
