Nestled in coveted Oakhurst, this home is perfectly positioned above 2nd Ave, offering peaceful, private views of surrounding greenery and a true sense of retreat. A welcoming front porch sets the tone, while inside, the main level strikes just the right balance of openness and defined space for everyday living. The living room is both inviting and elevated, featuring a cozy gas fireplace and a dramatic coffered ceiling. Just beyond, the dining room brings personality and function with custom deep blue built-ins that double as a chic entertaining hub, featuring storage for up to 24 bottles of wine plus ample space for entertaining essentials. A thoughtful pass-through connects to the kitchen, where a floor-to-ceiling bookshelf adds character opposite a beverage station complete with a wine fridge that is perfect for hosting or everyday ease. The large primary suite provides a comfortable escape, while the rare third-floor loft with a half bath offers incredible flexibility for work, play, or future expansion. A spacious screened porch on the backside overlooks a beautifully landscaped, flat yard for gathering, relaxing, or simply enjoying the outdoors. With alley access to a two-car garage and unfinished space above ready for whatever comes next, the home is designed to grow with you. All just a quick jaunt to Oakhurst Village, Kirkwood, or the Hosea + 2nd area for dining, coffee, and a casual “munch around” whenever the mood strikes.
