Historic gem in the Shaw neighborhood, just steps from Tower Grove Park! Built in 1897 for the Griesedieck brewing family, this stately 2.5-story on a quiet street is full of old-world charm! Beautiful landscaping frames the Romanesque-revival style brick exterior w/slate roof, arched windows, stone & dentil accents & covered porch. The foyer opens to the hearth room w/showstopper curved staircase surrounded by detailed woodwork, balancing the decorative fireplace, one of four throughout the home. Pocket doors open to the bright living room. Gleaming hardwoods, intricate millwork & antique light fixtures. A gorgeous dining room leads to the updated kitchen w/granite counters, breakfast bar, glass front cabinets & ceramic tile floors. A bath w/step-in shower completes the main level. Grand staircase continues to 2nd level, adding a charming bench in the hall leading to both bedrooms & office area. Third floor adds two more bedrooms. Amazing location, don't miss out! Being sold as is.
