Description

We are a family of four moving from St. Louis to the west coast for work. We have LOVED living in Lafayette Square. We recently renovated our home as we intended to put roots down in St. Louis, however, work is calling us elsewhere. This is a rare opportunity to rent a home that has been renovated to the owner's specifications. High quality and new fixtures, tile, vanities, dishwasher, washer/ dryer, range and oven, brand new HVAC system. The home is light and bright thanks to skylights and features a brand new eat-in kitchen (room for 4), a guest half bath, coat closet, dining room and living room on the first floor. The second floor has a full bath with tub and shower, plus two bedrooms (we used one as an office). The third floor has a master suite with walk-in shower, brand new walk-in closet, and double vanity in the bathroom with beautiful mirrored light. There is a working gas fireplace / stove on that floor that can be discussed as an option for use. There's also many built-in book shelves on all three floors of the house, gorgeous shutters, and skylights. We love this home and hope you will too. We are looking for a person, couple, or family that will enjoy all that Lafayette Square has to offer, including the landscaped and well cared for park with swans, ducks, new playground and summer time concerts. There's an excellent public charter school just two blocks away (Lafayette Prep), great adult and kids library about 10 minute walk away (Barr Library on the opposite side of the park across Jefferson). SLU is close by and Wash U is about a 12 minute drive. This home has great highway access, wonderful neighbors, and is in one of the few walkable areas of St. Louis. We moved to St. Louis and this house just a few years ago and have been so thankful to have landed in this community. We would be happy to give recommendations to folks coming in from out of town, or to those just new to the neighborhood.
