1820 Alfred Avenue

Start with the big covered front porch, because this is the kind of house that practically requires a couple of chairs and a drink. Inside, pretty stained glass sets the tone, while the living and dining rooms open naturally to one another. The spacious bedroom comes with an attached bonus space that can be whatever you need—home office, nursery, dressing room, or walk-in closet. The kitchen brings plenty of counter space plus a charming butler’s pantry that may quickly become your favorite little corner. Out back: a fenced backyard, one-car garage, AND an additional parking pad. And the location? It makes owning a car feel almost optional: just steps from Missouri Botanical Garden, Comet Coffee, Gringo Jones, and Tower Grove Park, with Saturday morning farmer’s market strolls, coffee runs, park walks, and Wednesday nights at the Whitaker Music Festival all within easy reach. Plus, a newer roof and newer furnace mean a couple of the big-ticket items are already checked off the list.
