Welcome to Northampton—one of St. Louis City's most sought-after neighborhoods, where convenience, community, and a true neighborhood feel come together. This updated home delivers the kind of layout and features that fit the way people live today, without sacrificing the character that makes city living so appealing. Inside, the main level offers an open floorplan with hardwood flooring throughout, creating an easy flow from room to room. Newer windows bring in plenty of natural light, while the completely redesigned kitchen is the clear centerpiece. Gutted and rebuilt with modern living in mind, it features soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a center island for additional prep space, and a large peninsula with seating for up to four—perfect for morning coffee, homework, happy hour, or all three at the same time. The finished lower level adds valuable flexibility with a spacious living area, bar, dedicated laundry room, half bath, and a separate sleeping area that can serve as a home office, guest space, or whatever your household needs next. An ATTACHED two-car garage is another standout feature, offering direct access from January Avenue and a level of everyday convenience that is hard to come by in the city. Outside, the flat, well-maintained backyard provides plenty of room to spread out, with a privacy fence, patio for outdoor dining, and generous green space for relaxing, entertaining, or letting the kids (and dog) burn off some energy. Updated, functional, and exceptionally well-located, this Northampton home offers one of the best versions of city living—close to everything, yet tucked into a neighborhood where community still matters and favorite local spots quickly become part of your routine. It’s a home that checks all the right boxes on paper, but makes even more sense day to day. Additional features include: newer roof (2019), newer water heater (2019), walk-in closet, egress window in lower level office/sleeping area, tons of storage & more!
Tilles Park, located between Hampton Avenue and Kingshighway Boulevard, is a residential and park-adjacent St. Louis neighborhood with brick bungalows and a signature city park. The neighborhood’s character concentrates at the Hampton Avenue edge by Tilles Park, where ballfields, playground paths, and steady local foot traffic set the daily rhythm. Housing leans toward compact brick homes and tidy apartment buildings on calm, tree-lined blocks. The park’s winter lights and open lawns shape the calendar and the streetscape. Nearby anchors like The Hill’s Gioia’s Deli, Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, and the St. Louis Science Center add a distinctly St. Louis layer beyond the neighborhood grid.

Est. 1947, this charming, solid brick home was built to last. Situated on a corner in Joan of Arc Hills, it has the benefit of a large lot with attached 2-car garage and fenced-in yard. The interior showcases fresh paint, hardwood floors and lots of light. Little details and character are found throughout the home from the stone fireplace surround, to the glass block shelves and vintage tile in the kitchen and baths. With 2 bedrooms, 1 & 1/2 baths and a large, finished lower level (complete with bar area), there is a lot of space to claim in this cheery house. Municipal inspection has already been performed and passed! Showings begin Saturday, 7/13 at 9 am.
