This cheerful University City home has plenty to love: over 1,800 square feet above grade, a finished basement, a big kitchen, spacious backyard, an attached garage, and some seriously fun mid-century character. The home is colorful and happy as-is, but there’s also plenty of opportunity to put your own stamp on it. Think of it as a great starting point rather than a house that’s trying too hard to be finished. The spacious kitchen gives you room to cook, gather, and live, while the backyard adds even more space to spread out. And then there’s the basement—finished and ready to become whatever you need it to be. Movie nights? Playroom? Home office? Workout space? You’ve got options. The location is a major win, too. You’re close to I-170 and just around the corner from all the shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences popping up along Olive Boulevard. Costco, Target, Dierbergs, restaurants, and more are all within easy reach. Lots of space. Great bones. Fun details. Fantastic location. And a price that makes sense for the amount of house you’re getting. Come see what you can do with it!
